In the land of 'empty people'

"By Zvi Bar'el
Diyarbakir, Turkey.

"I was 7 when I was first punched by a Turkish policeman. Why? Because I was playing soccer in the street and I was making a bit of noise. Later I collected many explanations for that blow. Especially in the 10 years I spent in prison."

Four years ago, at age 30, Nurallah was released from prison, but he is still suspicious, as if expecting another punch to the face. He thoroughly quizzes the interpreter, Ilmaz: Who is this journalist? Is he really a journalist? He asks for a business card and apologizes that he cannot give his last name."
