The families of Mazlum Dağ and Abdurrahman Er, who were arrested in Hewler in 2019 and put in Hewler Prison, announced that the hunger strike launched by the two Kurds on 18 May against rights violations was ended after their demands were met.

Kudret Dağ, the mother of Mazlum Dağ, said: “We are happy that our sons have ended their hunger strike after 65 days of fast. We call on the relevant parties to prevent the children of the Kurdish people from experiencing rights violations in prisons."

Şahin Er, father of Abdurrahman Er, said: “The health condition of our sons, who have been on hunger strike for 65 days against rights violations and torture, was not good. Therefore, we are happy that they have ended the hunger strike. We have received the promises regarding the fulfilment of their demands. We thank all political parties  who supported us in South Kurdistan."

Mazlum Dağ's uncle Hamid Dağ said that they met with the Independent Human Rights Institution and the advisor to the Minister of Social Affairs and added that many political parties supported them.
