In a new move, Mohammed Ocalan, through his lawyer Mazloum Dinç, along with Ali Konar, the brother of detainee Omar Khairi Konar, Polat Yildirim, the brother of detainee Hamili Yildirim, and Meliha Aktaş, the sister of detainee Veysi Aktaş, submitted an official request to the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor in Bursa and the Directorate of Imrali Prison.

Lawyers from the Al-Asr Human Rights Office regularly submit visitation requests twice a week, while the families of the detainees submit two additional requests weekly, totaling 16 requests per month. Despite these efforts, they have not received any response from the relevant authorities.

Leader Abdullah Ocalan is being deprived of his legal rights as a prisoner under a systematic policy of torture and isolation.
