Turkey violates international laws about " Right to Hope" law

The Turkish occupation state continues to impose strict isolation on Leader Abdullah Ocalan, without regard to international human rights laws and conventions, and prevents him from meeting with his family and lawyers, and rejects all requests to meet with him.

Human rights activist Khaled Al-Hassan said: “Recently, the Turkish occupation state has tightened the isolation imposed on Leader Abdullah Ocalan, preventing visits from his family and lawyers, while all news about him has been cut off, and this is in violation of all international laws and norms.”

He added, "In his turn, we, human rights activists in the city of Raqqa, met with figures, held seminars, and communicated with human rights offices at the international and regional levels, but we found that all doors were closed to us, and that there was double standards. We appealed to all concerned countries and all concerned organizations, with all regret. These organizations have a political agenda that serves its countries.”

He stressed the necessity of organizing many human rights and legal seminars to pressure the Turkish occupation state to lift the isolation of leader Abdullah Ocalan, reveal his health, and allow his family to visit him.

He stated, “In the nineties, official meetings were held with all European countries, including Turkey, and the “Right to Hope” law was signed, through which every political prisoner over the age of seventy who spent twenty years in prison has the right to spend the rest of his life with his family, except that Turkey did not implement the decision, and this is considered a violation of international laws.”

He continued, "We appealed to all bodies, especially the lawyers' unions at the regional level within the Arab Lawyers Union, the Cyprus Lawyers Union, and the Azerbaijan Lawyers' Union. We communicated with them and prepared memorandums and files, and sent them to Sweden, but the answer was rejected, on the grounds that we are not a recognized entity or a recognized state."

At the conclusion of his speech, he stressed, "The demonstrations currently being organized in Sweden and Finland, which the Turkish regime objects to, are a means of popular pressure to implement international law with regard to lifting the isolation of leader Abdullah Ocalan and implementing the Right to Hope Law."
