International support campaigns continued towards the violations of the leader Abdullah Ocalan's rights at the hands of the Turkish state inside Imrali prison, which deprives him of all the rights guaranteed to him by international and humanitarian law and even what Turkish laws stipulated.

The Turkish state imposes what it calls "disciplinary penalties" on leader Abdullah Ocalan every six months, and prevents him from communicating with the outside, which violates the minimum standard rules for the treatment of prisoners in the Global Charter on Human Rights.

In this context, the Egyptian writer residing in Austria and the founder of the International Federation of Egyptian Citizens Abroad, Bahgat al-Obaidi, considered that "the issue of the great Kurdish fighter leader Abdullah Ocalan will remain a point of shame not only in the forehead of the Turkish state, but also in the forehead of the international community as long as it continues to be complicit with the Turkish government in what you do it with the great fighter Abdullah Ocalan."

Bahgat al-Obaidi told ANHA’s agency, "The suffering of Ocalan in his solitary confinement and the afflictions he suffers from at the sinful hand of the Turkish security will remain a shame that haunts those executioners who deprive the icon of the struggle of the twenty-first century of his minimum rights, reminding those black pages of every brutal occupier throughout history and what he does with the demanding activists." freedom of their homeland.

The founder of the International Federation of Egyptian Citizens Abroad stressed that "the Turkish authorities by depriving Ocalan of communication with the outside reflects the terror in which Ankara lives from the Kurdish leader, even while he is in his prison and under the control of the Turkish regime's security forces."

He continued: "Turkey violates all international conventions, as it does not adhere to the minimum standard in the treatment of prisoners in the United Nations Charter, which stipulates that every pretrial detainee or prisoner has the right to inform members of his family or any other persons of his choice, and it falls on authority to implement it.

According to the founder of the International Federation of Egyptian Citizens Abroad, "what Turkey is doing to prevent Ocalan from external communication is not only a violation of international covenants, but it is also a flagrant violation of Turkish law, which guarantees every prisoner communication with his lawyer, and this confirms the unsurprising part of the Turkish authorities." In dealing with the issue of the fighter Abdullah Ocalan in particular.

Bahgat al-Obaidi believes that "whatever the transgressions of the Turkish authorities and Turkish security against Abdullah Ocalan, they will not discourage him from his position, nor will he break his firmness, and he will remain a symbol of the just Kurdish cause on the one hand, and for freedom fighters in all parts of the world on the other hand."

The founder of the International Federation of Egyptian Citizens Abroad called on "the various international institutions and civil society organizations in the world and all those working in the field of human rights to highlight the injustice that Ocalan is exposed to and what he suffers in his solitary confinement, so that the human conscience moves and the countries that pay lip service to defending human rights take a stand Fair from this great fighter.
