disturbance, Turkish security forces shot and killed one of the detainees, a young man of unknown nationality who Human Rights Watch had talked to at length. Izmir Migrants told Human Rights Watch similar stories to what Human Rights observed in Edirne about their treatment in the jail in Izmir.133 A 20-year-old man from Baghdad who made several failed attempts to enter Greece described his treatment in Izmir. Noteworthy is that he was beaten at first for falsely claiming to be Palestinian, and then when he truthfully admitted to being Iraqi, they beat him again, accusing him of being a Palestinian: In the Izmir jail there was no food and they would beat you to get you to admit you were Iraqi. There were about 100 people held in a narrow room. Iraqis are especially beaten to get them to admit to being Iraqis. I was beaten until I admitted that I was an Iraqi. Then they beat me because they accused me of really being a Palestinian. They hit me with police clubs. Every day they beat me. They beat me on the back.134 The jail facility in Izmir was described by some migrants as being underground.135 A 33year-old Iraqi from Baghdad described the Izmir jail: We were held underground for two weeks. There were a lot of people there. We couldn’t breathe. There were different nationality groups: the Moroccans, the Pakistanis, the Palestinians. The police feeding would take place once a day. The bigger groups took all the food. The police laughed at us.136 133 Another testimony consistent with the quoted account on Izmir was B-3. 134 Human Rights Watch interview (name withheld, B-11), Athens, May 24, 2008. 135 Izmir was also described as being underground by B-8. 136 Human Rights Watch interview (name withheld, B-15), Athens, May 27, 2008.
