The criminal complaint filed by women journalists against the practice resulted in non-prosecution.
 
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE: STRIP- SEARCH IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE REGULATION
 
The criminal complaint filed by women journalists with the Ankara West Chief Public Prosecutor's Office was responded to on December 14. The Prosecutor's Office defended that strip search is compatible with the regulation.
 
The prison institution also told that the female journalists were searched in a closed room without anybody seeing it and they had robes on and there were no video recording device in the room.
