Originally expected to be released in August 2024, Turkish authorities kept renowned poet İlhan Sami Çomak jailed for another 96 days. Now, İlhan Sami Çomak is finally a free man, after having been imprisoned for 30 years, having been subjected to torture, and driven to sign false confessions.

It is about time to celebrate İlhan Sami Çomak's poetical work, and we will do this for seven days!

A video-art installation by Eran Karakiraz is kick-starting the celebration if İlhan Sami Çomak's newly won freedom, with the poet himself reciting one of his poems, so enjoy!
