ISTANBUL - Stating that the campaign launched to demand the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan continues in more than 100 countries, KCDK-E Co-Chair Zübeyde Zümrüt stated that more than 100 thousand postcards will be sent to İmralı.

 

There has been no news from PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who has been held in severe isolation conditions in İmralı High Security Type F Closed Prison for 25 years, for 33 months. While absolute isolation continues in Imrali, the "Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, Solution to the Kurdish Issue" campaign, which started at the global level on October 10, continues.

 

In this context, various actions and events, especially marches, statements and panels, continue to spread in many centers. European Democratic Kurdish Society Congress (KCDK-E) Co-chair Zübeyde Zümrüt made evaluations about the ongoing campaign.

 

THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES IN OVER 100 COUNTRIES

 

Stating that the campaign, which started in 74 countries on October 10, is currently continuing in more than 100 countries, Zümrüt said: "The campaign launched will run on three legs: diplomacy, legal and international dimension organisation. The move that started on October 10 is a continuation of other actions and activities, but the difference of this move from the others is that it will continue until it gets results. Press releases, marches, rallies, conferences on women and youth, press conferences, as well as reading days of Mr. Öcalan's books, were organized in many countries within the scope of these studies, which started under the leadership of friends in a hundred countries . Imrali walls must now be demolished and Mr. Öcalan's physical freedom must be ensured."

 

100 THOUSAND POSTCARDS WILL BE SENT TO IMRALI

 

Stating that they plan to send more than a hundred thousand postcards demanding the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan to İmralı Prison from many European countries within the scope of the campaign in the future, Zümrüt said: “We are planning to spread this work throughout European countries. The infrastructure for this is being created. We will share this work with the public as of the day we start. In addition, a very large rally is planned by the Action Committee in Cologne, Germany, on February 17. The rally will be organized so that participants can participate in all European countries. This rally will be a rally beyond the rallies and marches we have held in the past. On the other hand, a delegation will come to Turkey from Europe, and the delegation includes many lawyers, well-known individuals and groups from the European Parliament. Preparations for this continue. Those who initiated this move are friends who were influenced by Mr. Öcalan's ideas and thoughts."
