Abstract EN
The postponement of penal sentences due to illness is defined in article 16 of Law No.
(5275) on the execution of penalties and security measures in Turkey.
According to this article, the execution of a penal sentence is carried out if the disease or illness of a convicted criminal is mild and is treatable at a prison clinic or at a public hospital having separate out-patient or in-patient clinics for prisoners.
On the other hand, if the convict is suffering from a serious or life-threatening disease and the execution may risk the convict's life, then execution of the sentence is delayed until the convict has suitably recovered.
In Turkey, the decision to grant a stay in the execution of a penal sentence is given by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on the basis of medical reports
