ANKARA - The hunger strike action launched at DEM Party Ankara Provincial Organization in support of the hunger strike launched in prisons for the physical freedom of PKK Leader Abdullah Ocalan is on its 4th day.

 

The hunger strike action, which was launched on November 27, 2023 in prisons to demand the physical freedom of PKK Leader Abdullah Ocalan, who has been held in isolation on İmralı Island and has not been heard from for 35 months, and to solve the Kurdish issue, has passed 2 months. People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) Ankara Provincial Organization started a hunger strike action on January 25 in support of the action in prisons.

 

Mamak District Organization took over the action at the DEM Party Ankara Provincial Organization building today. Names from Democratic Alevi Associations (DAD) and Fatma Ana Cemevi visited the activists. It was learned that the protest will be continued tomorrow only by women.

 

'ISOLATION CONTINUE ON THE PEOPLE'

 

Emphasizing that the isolation is directed at the entire society, Hüsnüye Kat said: "Isolation is a crime against humanity. Isolation is not only being carried out intensely against Mr. Ocalan and our friends in prison. It is being carried out intensively on the entire people of Turkey and Kurdistan. Isolation is war, rape, harassment, massacre. Isolation must be end. There must be peace. And this is a must for Turkey's democratization."

 

DAD Ankara Branch President Mustafa Karabudak said: "Isolation is an issue for all of us. People are isolated in the person of Mr. Ocalan. We condemn this. The Kurds used all the democratic methods they could for peace, but when they did not get a response, they went on a hunger strike. We greet all souls inside and outside. We stand with the lives that are a lamp to peace, and we will grow and support solidarity as much as we can."

 

The hunger strike action continued with the folk poems and strans (songs) of DAD representatives.
