​​​​​​​Hamo: silence of international powers motivates Turkey to continue its violations against Ocalan

 Since the arrest of the leader Abdullah Ocalan on February 15, 1999, the leader has been subjected to psychological pressures inside Imrali prison by the Turkish authorities.  The Turkish state imposes strict isolation on the leader Ocalan and prevents his family and lawyers from meeting him.

 Member of the Syrian Initiative Committee for the Freedom of Leader Abdullah Ocalan for the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh in Aleppo Badran Hammo pointed out that throughout history, personalities have appeared in societies to lead peoples towards salvation from slavery and injustice, and said: "The leader Abdullah Ocalan is the person who led Middle Eastern societies with his thought and philosophy.  He was able to free peoples from genocide, denial and injustice.

 Hammo noted that "about 24 years have passed since the arrest of the leader, Abdullah Ocalan, by the capitalist countries, led by the Turkish state to sever the connection between him and the people, but he exists only as a body inside an Imrali prison because the peoples of the region and the Kurdish people in particular exist today thanks to  his thought and philosophy.

He continued saying, "The leader Ocalan was able to achieve victory for all the peoples of the region and build the democratic nation's project to resolve crises in the Middle East, and millions are fighting for this project. The leader is the solution to those crises in the region."

 Isolation is a psychological war against the people

 Regarding the tightening of isolation on the leader Abdullah Ocalan inside the Imrali prison, he confirmed that “all the countries of the world participated in the Turkish state to tighten the isolation of the leader inside the prison to keep him away from his comrades, the movement and the people, and put pressure on him intellectually, psychologically and morally,  but his resistance in Imrali thwarted this isolation."

 He added: "At the beginning of 2011, the Turkish state imposed isolation on the leader Abdullah Ocalan. This isolation is a psychological war being practiced against the peoples of the region and the Kurdish people in order to break their resistance and will."

 'We need a Turkish de Klerk, not a Turkish Hitler'

 With Frederic de Klerk coming to power in South Africa, leader Nelson Mandela was released in 1990 and the ban on the African National Congress was lifted. Together they negotiated and resolved all issues of racial policy and reconciliation between blacks and whites there.

 Hammo says: "We need a Turkish de Klerk, not a Turkish Hitler, meaning the Turkish state rapprochement with the leader Abdullah Ocalan, and to go to Imrali to release the leader, because Imrali is not only a solution for the Kurds but for all the peoples of the Middle East."

Silence gives strength to the Turkish state

 Regarding the silence of international and human rights organizations, Badran pointed out that "the silence of international and human rights institutions and organizations and the Committee Against Torture (CPT) motivates the Turkish state to commit violations against the leader Ocalan in Imrali, and that it violates all human rights laws without accountability."

 Hammo confirmed that the Turkish authorities are pretexting the imposition of disciplinary sanctions on leader Abdullah Ocalan in order to prevent the implementation of the "Right to Hope" decision, and said, "We have the right to know the health status of our leader and he has the right to meet his family and lawyer."

 At the end of his speech, Badran Hammo called on "the honorable patriots and peoples of the region to go to the squares, organize events, and put pressure on international and human rights organizations to carry out their duties."
