Laila Coven: Isolation is a crime against humanity

"I was inspired by the guidance of the leader of the Kurdish people Abdullah Ocalan and I have been actively involved in the politics," she said, referring to the isolation imposed on the leader Ocalan. But this isolation is not only aimed at the person of Ocalan, but at the Kurdish people in full. Isolation is a crime against humanity and I am as a part of this people, I condemn the isolation of Ocalan, and in this context I declared an open hunger strike, from now on I will not talk to the court, and if necessary I will strike food to death."

Leila Coven has been on a hunger strike since 07 November

"The isolation is one of the kinds of distress, the Turkish state is isolating Ocalan in an attempt to silence the politicians," the spokeswoman for Kongra Star Avin Swid said to ANHA agency

The presence of political women in prisons is a form of distress

She also said "There are preparations in the north and east areas of Syria for the 25th of November, the International Day against Violence against Women," she said. "Our comrades in Bakour receive attacks, isolation and torture by the Turkish state. The women who have been elected by the people are being arrested ... These women can change Turkey's current face and build a democratic Turkey, but unfortunately the Turkish state is targeting politicians ... There are thousands of our comrades in the prisons of the Turkish state, it is a kind of distress "

The Turkish state is afraid of women and therefore targets them directly

"The change in the Middle East will happen through the women who think of Ocalan, and the Turkish state because it is afraid of change, targeting women," she said. "The Turkish state is afraid of women and therefore targets them directly, and this is all thanks to the thought of Ocalan."

Women in prisons are subjected to all kinds of torture

Turkish politics deepen existing crises
