On October 10 of last year, 2023, a global campaign was launched in 74 centers around the world under the slogan “Freedom for Abdullah Ocalan, the political solution to the Kurdish issue.”

 In this context, a series of events began in northern Kurdistan and Turkey to support this campaign.

Under the same campaign slogan, a number of activists in Turkish prisons in Turkey and northern Kurdistan began a hunger strike last November 27.

The hunger strike will end next February 15, according to the strikers.

In the cities of Wan, Amed, Merdin, Mersin, Adana, Istanbul and Izmir, justice sit-ins continue under the slogan “We will break isolation for justice, and we will be the voice of prisons for peace,” which were organized by the families of the hunger strikers.
