YEREVAN Jan. 09, (NT, DPA) - Inmates in prisons around Turkey have ended revolts that began last Thursday, setting 29 hostages free, the Turkish Human Rights Association (IHD) announced Tuesday. The prisoners agreed to end their uprising after authorities removed Istanbul's Umraniye prison director and a deputy prosecutor from their duties and opened an investigation into the brutal crushing of a revolt there last Thursday. The inmates were also promised better prison conditions, Kanar said. Three inmates died Thursday when political prisoners held at Umraniye revolted in protest against extreme conditions and brutality by security forces. Sixty-seven people, including inmates, guards and gendarmerie, were injured. dpa sf vc /AA1234/090901 Jan 96
