Lawyers of NE, Syria discuss isolation on Ocalan with their partners in Mid-east

No information has been received on leader Abdullah Ocalan for 17 months. The health status of him and other Imrali detainees is also unknown. It has been prohibited to meet with the leader's lawyers for three years.

Lawyers of North and North Syria have spoken to ANHA’s agency; on torture and aggravated isolation imposed in Imrali, and called on everyone to fight for leader Ocalan's physical freedom.

the co-chair of the Raqqa Lawyers' Union; Khaled al-Hassan has mentioned on the case of Imrali, said that the abduction and arrest of leader Ocalan was a violation of international law and said: "This is an inhuman crime in order to subdue the world. Many States are partners in this abduction. The isolation imposed on Imrali is also a legal violation. Leader Ocalan is a political thinker, philosopher and detainee, but unfortunately the laws are broken and violated in Imrali Prison.”

Al-Hassan revealed that the district lawyers had decided to hold a meeting on the subject over the next month, saying "leader Ocalan has a philosophy that benefits everyone in the solution, so we owe to him and we, as a lawyers have a duty to discuss and interpret this situation. Let us not forget that the leader is not an ordinary detainee, but an intellectual detainee whose philosophy is the map of the solution.”

Al-Hassan also spoke about the position of lawyers and said: "We lawyers should defend leader Ocalan by legal methods and methods and present this legal fact to all international and legal institutions and explain the truth of Imrali. There has been isolation since the beginning of the detention. Denial of the right to meet with lawyers is an injustice. A prisoner's first right is to meet his lawyer. We have decided to visit Egypt and meet with Arab lawyers to discuss this subject. "

Khaled al-Hassan added: "We have seen that there is interest in the subject of Ocalan in Egypt as well. This State attaches great importance to the arrest of leader Ocalan and we will be loyal legal soldiers in the case of his arrest. our meeting will be held in September and a delegation will be selected there to discuss this issue with external legal parties. "

For his part, the member of Manbij Bar Association; Omar Bakr, known; According to the laws of all States, a detainee must meet with his lawyer and family, and must not be physically and psychologically isolated. Meetings must be available under any circumstances. Bakr noted that the decision to isolate the leader was considered and planned and said: "We know that whoever is arrested because of the issue of a homeland is working to make people aware, but Turkey displeases the people with isolation. it must be known that Ocalan is both a leader and a solution route.”

Speaking of the circumstances of the Imrali and the crimes of the Turkish State against leader Ocalan, Bakr said: "The leader was over 70 years old and Turkey lighted his cell with special lamps, affecting his eyes and blinding him. This is in itself a violation of all laws and is egregious violation. The arrest of a person in another State and in cooperation with several interested parties such as America and Israel is not ordinary. "

Bakr also spoke of the importance of leader Ocalan to the people and continued: "His arrest in this way also places us under the burden of taking a position on this. We have to reveal Imrali status in all international fields. A person with other detainees can be arrested, but the arrest of a person in a solitary cell is flagrant violation, and a prison inside a prison.

Finally, referring to international silence, Omar Bakr said: "We have to ask the European Union why is leader Ocalan arrested? Because we know the situation well, we must call for his immediate release. All laws also provide for the detainee's release when he or she reaches the age of 75 and above, regardless of his or her offence. But our leader has exceeded this age and is not a criminal detainee but a political detainee and a case holder. The international community generally pursues its interests, and this applies to leader Ocalan's arrest. They remain silent on this subject because leader Ocalan's project shakes their interests and identifies ways of resolving them. "

The co-chair of the Lawyers' Union of North and East Syria explained; Bashira Jamal al-Din said that the aggravated isolation imposed on leader Ocalan is first a violation of every human being's rights said: "In accordance with all international laws; No one may be placed in isolation, but Turkey is doing more. It is practising all forms of torture against leader Ocalan. The leader is a political, enlightening and intellectual person, and we find ourselves in his opinions and ideas. His arrest will not prevent his ideas from spreading. Today his ideas have spread throughout Kurdistan and the world and still, Turkey wanted to prevent this in every way but it has not worked. "

Everyone has to do something.

She invited all legal organizations "We lawyers will continue our defence work, and as a woman and lawyer I consider the role of leader Ocalan in the cause of women's freedom very important. Leader Ocalan raised women from a low to a very high level. As a result of the leader's thoughts, we women today follow the cause of freedom and walk the cause of the freedom of all women. The presence of women co-chairs in all institutions today (the system of co-chairmanship) is thanks to the ideas of leader Ocalan. "
