On 15 February, 1999, the leader of the Kurdish people Abdullah Ocalan was handed over to the Turkish state as a result of an international conspiracy. Since 11 September, 2016, the Turkish government has not allowed his lawyers and family, as well as the Imrali Body members to meet Ocalan. Since then, information about Ocalan has been cut off.

Commenting on this subject, Hawar news agency met with Ocalan attorney Abru Konay, who confirmed that they knew nothing about the conditions of Ocalan in prison, and that Ocalan is subjected to conditions of complete internal and international isolation.

Seek to legitimize illegal proceedings in Imrali

The last meeting the lawyers held with Ocalan was on July 27, 2011. "The last visit by Imrali was on 5 April, 2015. The last visit by the brother of Ocalan to Imrali was on 11 September, 2016. Afterwards, all the forms of communication, the written, oral or direct had been cut. "

"The ban on direct contact with Ocalan in Imrali is not based on any legal basis, but the current legal situation is being justified," Konay said, adding that the ban on all forms of communication with Ocalan now can only be described as a complete isolation, either in accordance with internal or international laws. "

What is applied in Imrali is the longest period of isolation throughout history

Konay noted that what is happening in Imrali is the longest ban in history. "As far as is known, the Turkish state was hindering the visit to Ocalan family and his lawyers to Imrali island, before July 2016 the visits were blocked with various pretexts such as weather conditions. After the coup attempt on 15 July, the emergency state was declared in Imrali and the isolation system entered a new phase.

On 20 July, the emergency state was declared, but before its declaration in the official newspaper, on 21 July the Bursa Court issued a decree prohibiting all forms of visits and all forms of communication (letters, faxes, etc.) in Imrali. Subsequently, all emergency laws in Imrali were legitimized, the authorities have argued against these laws instead of the previous arguments, and all the objections raised were rejected. "

Imposed isolation, turned into an emergency state to complete absolute isolation

"The state of isolation has been systematically going on for 20 years," Konay said, "and with the declaration of a state of emergency, Imrali's isolation has taken on a new form and has become a complete isolation," full isolation is not just a normal term, it is a physical and intellectual denial and a form of torture. The government knows that Mr. Ocalan's views will protect the people from the mechanisms of the coup, and because they know that the policies of war will not solve the Kurdish issue, they seek to consolidate isolation. "

The European Court of Human Rights and the Committee Against Torture pursue policies consistent with international conspiracy

Attorney Konay noted that Ocalan had been handed over to Turkey in an international conspiracy and that the international forces were partners in the isolation system in Imrali, and this is the reason of their silence, especially the European Court of Human Rights and the European Committee against Torture, are not immune to this conspiracy, these institutions often deny this situation or support the international conspiracy through some reports, such as the reports of the Committee against Torture, and the consequences of the international conspiracy continue in other ways."

She pointed out that isolation affects the whole of Turkey, "during the 20-year-old Imrali process, the following conclusion can be drawn: there is a direct relationship between war and isolation, isolationism will not only lead Turkey to war, but there is another fact that the isolation system will affect the whole of Turkey .”

The isolation system will lead Turkey and the Middle East towards chaos

Konay said the ruling authorities in Turkey had completely turned Turkey into something like Imrali, so isolation would drag Turkey and many parts of the Middle East into chaos.

She said, Ocalan wanted to clarify the shape of the dialectical relationship he had with the Kurdish people. "There is a close link between Mr. Ocalan's freedom and the freedom of peoples. In 2013-2014, during the period of the peace process and the solution, Ocalan said that improving his security and health conditions contributes to speeding up the peace process, and today, the safety, freedom and health of Ocalan are important for those living in Turkey and the Middle East.

Ocalan has foiled the tricks of the rulers and supported the peoples

Konay said that the purpose of abstraction in all parts of the world is to forget, that is to forget the person who is being isolated by his supporters. "with Ocalan's abstraction, his ideology will be also stripped, but Ocalan's democratic nation has spread among peoples.

The Kurdish people, as well as the democratic forces, are committed to the ideology and philosophy of Ocalan, and Mr. Ocalan's struggle has made great gains for the people of the Middle East, so they seek through the isolation to get rid of the link that connects Ocalan to these peoples, but they failed to do so.

Lifting the isolation is the only condition for peace and solution

Lawyer of the leader of the Kurdish People Abdullah Ocalan Abru Konay said, all the defenders of human values ​​and human rights must struggle against this isolation "Everyone in Turkey who wants to stop the war and chaos, achieve peace and the solution, listen to Ocalan, and struggle to be able to hear the voice of Ocalan. “Therefore, everyone who supports peace and the solution must express his position of isolation. The government must immediately return to the stage of the peace process, end the isolation imposed on Mr. Ocalan and end the isolation system in Imrali."
