Dont believe it go asks kurds who were tortured in turkish prisons or the greek and armenians who's heads were chopped off and used to play fotball with by turks.

Yes, it's very real just like the prison in Tango and Cash. This movie should be called documentary.

I'm a Kurd and have not heard a Kurd got beat up in a Turkish prison. I asked some of my elders that went to prison (old days, old way of living) and they also confirmed not being beheaded.

couldn't you confirm it yourself just by looking at their heads, if there had been a previous beheading?

Its possible they might not be telling the truth.

I can confirm 100% that there head is still connected to the rest of their body on the place where you would expect.

(i see now that my grammar is terrible, love the replies i got for my post ;) )

The Kurds have very advanced head-reconnection surgery. Once the neck heals, the scar is barely visible.

I've only known one Turkish person, and she was not nice, by any standards. But I'm holding back my judgment of the other millions, based on this single example.
