On Thursday, lawyers from al-Asr Human Rights Office, Suzan Akiba, Ibrahim Bilmez, Cengiz Yurtlu and Imran Emekji, submitted a request to the Bursa Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Imrali Prison Directorate to meet with their clients, Leader Abdullah Ocalan, Omer Hayri Konar, and their clients Yildirim and Veysi Aktas, who have been subjected to strict isolation in Imrali Prison for 40 months.

In order to meet with them, lawyers from al-Asr Law Office submit two requests every week to the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the Turkish city of Bursa and the Imrali Prison Directorate. Their families also submit two requests every week, for a total of 16 requests every month, without receiving any response, indicating their refusal to meet with him.

It is noteworthy that the last meeting with the leader was held by his lawyers, Rezan Sarija and Newroz Uysal, on August 7, 2019, while his last contact with the outside world was on March 25, 2021, during a phone call with his brother Mohammad Ocalan for 5 minutes, then the call was cut off.

Leader Abdullah Ocalan has been detained for more than 24 years in Imrali Island prison in the Sea of Marmara, following an international conspiracy carried out by international and regional forces in 1999 in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, and he was handed over to the Turkish occupation state on February 15 of the same year.
