The conspiring forces realized the failure of the conspiracy, so they isolated Leader Ocalan, ad the continued isolation represents a silent death, so isolation was the last option for these forces.
First of all, just saying the name of the Imrali Type F High Security Solitary Confinement Prison evokes terror and fear, even the humid climate of this small island is enough to quickly break a person's steadfastness and struggle for life and causes many diseases, so steadfastness in a solitary cell similar to a coffin on an isolated island for 26 years is a story of great resistance.
Lawyers’ meetings with Leader Abdullah Ocalan were stopped legally in 2011. They have visited the leader in Imrali 5 times since 2019 for various reasons, including “Pressure in Europe, Turkey and Kurdistan, hunger strikes in Turkish prisons, death fasts, and Leyla Güven’s activities.”
Despite the decisions of the Council of Europe and other institutions, Turkey does not abide by these decisions and treaties, so lawyers have been banned from visiting Imrali prison since August 7, 2019.
However, due to the public concern about the leader Ocalan’s health and safety, he was allowed to make a phone call on March 25, 2021. The call lasted 4 and a half minutes, then the call was cut off before the leader could finish his speech.
Furthermore, cutting off this phone call, which is the second call the leader has made during his 26 years of imprisonment, indicates that he A systematic torture system is being applied against him.
The hundreds of requests made by the leader's lawyers and his family to meet him (more than 300 requests) have not been answered.
On the other hand, there are statements that he has been sentenced to solitary confinement, and the reasons for the solitary confinement are of course unknown.
The isolation system is so complex as it will extend and reflect on all the fundamental problems in Turkey, and it must be clearly stated that without understanding the torture and isolation regime in Imrali, no problem in Turkey can be solved.
Basically, the isolation aims to eliminate the achievements of the Kurds and eliminate the Kurdish liberation movement through occupation attacks, destructive attacks, heavy weapons and shells targeting the borders daily. That is, they are implementing plans for isolation in Imrali and destruction and genocide in the mountains together.
One should see the resistance of the Kurds against authoritarian fascism in Turkey thanks to the leader Ocalan’s resistance in Imrali and the Guerrilla’s sacrificial stance, the fascist AKP and MHP regime is heading towards the abyss, following its failure in the elections due to its hostile policies against the Kurds.
After 50 years of war, those who are hostile to the PKK and the Kurds are politically defeated. Now it is the turn of the AKP’s collapse and political bankruptcy. All democratic, social-democratic and leftist structures must recognize and acknowledge the resistance of the Kurds and the reality of Imrali. Without understanding this resistance, they will not be able to oppose fascism.
In fact, the struggle of the leader Abdullah Ocalan, who resisted the torture regime in Imrali, and the struggle of the Kurdish people is a struggle for dignity.
Those who call for "bread and justice" and the left-wing opposition, especially the Republican People's Party, have not realized that words do not do anything. In which region of the world have fascist governments been defeated with words? Has any fascist government in any country collapsed or been defeated through the ballot box? Has such an experience occurred or not?
Implementing isolation means the silent death of the leader Abdullah Ocalan and the Kurdish people. The opposition groups have not uttered a single word against isolation or genocidal attacks on the Guerrillas and the Kurdish people. As in the Dilara and Dilruba incidents, not a single word about isolation in Imrali was mentioned in the headlines of daily newspapers and television channels. The opposition that claims to be fighting for justice and all the attempts of political opposition do not have the importance of the struggle of mother Emine Şanışar for justice. The fact that the struggle against fascism is limited to words only, without turning into an organized struggle.
Unlike the opposition, the Kurds are waging a war of existence; a war of survival or destruction. But when will the opposition like the CHP understand that? What kind of democracy is this if Kurdish democrats cannot say anything about the killing of Kurds, the attempts to eliminate the Guerrillas and the severe isolation on the leader?
Those who ignore the Kurdish issue, which is the root of all problems in Turkey, and commit a crime against humanity such as isolation have no chance of winning or succeeding in politics under the current circumstances in Turkey.
On the contrary, they will only lose all their chances.
In a nutshell, not taking the Kurdish issue into consideration is a weakness and an obstacle in politics.
In course of time, If the isolation in Imrali is not broken, the Kurds will hold these officials accountable either through war or the ballot box.
In this context, the leader Ocalan makes a practical call in this regard: “If the Kurdish issue is not resolved through democratic means, the Kurdish people should prepare for a war that may last for a century."
