There was a constant come-and-go of prisoners of every description: drug peddlers, thieves, bandits, black-marketeers, drunks, prostitutes. Some of the drunks were so violent that the other prisoners had to combine to suppress them. An enormous wreck of a woman, aged about sixty, with great tumbling breasts and thick coils of white hair which had come down in her struggles, was carried in, kicking and shouting, by four guards, who had hold of her one at each corner. They wrenched off the boots with which she had been trying to kick them, and dumped her down across Winston’s lap, almost breaking his thigh-bones. The woman hoisted herself upright and followed them out with a yell of "F-- bastards!" Then, noticing that she was sitting on something uneven, she slid off Winston’s knees on to the bench.

She leant forward and vomited copiously on the floor.
In Turkey's largest city, Istanbul, and the capital Ankara----the most closely watched and influential constituencies----both the government and the opposition claimed victory and accused one another of fraud.
