Gendarmerie custody records for the Hazro, Lice and, Diyarbakır provincial gendarmerie headquarters between 1992 and 1994 appended to the applicant's memorial in the İzzet Çakıcı case. According to the European Commission on Human Rights, 'The Hazro gendarmerie station custody record made no entry on 8 November with respect to Ahmet Çakıcı. Nor did the copies of the entries for the period November to December 1993 at the Diyarbakır provincial gendarmerie headquarters. The Commission examined in detail the entries for both. It found disturbing discrepancies. In particular, it found that entries were not in sequential or chronological order; that all the entries in the Diyarbakır custody record were in the same handwriting; and that the number of persons recorded as detained in Diyarbakır exceeded the officially available number of cells. This gave rise, inter alia, to a strong suspicion that entries were not made contemporaneously.'
