NEWS CENTER - PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan's family, lawyers and guardian made a third application to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, demanding an "urgent meeting".

 

PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan's lawyers Raziye Öztürk, Faik Özgür Erol, Rezan Sarıca and Cengiz Yürekli made a new application to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

 

The lawyers also applied for an immediate visit to Ömer Hayri Konar, Veysi Aktaş and Hamili Yıldırım, who are in the same prison as Öcalan.

 

NO ANSWER TO APPLICATIONS
