"Everything will be resolved in the first meeting with Mr. Öcalan. The pressure increased when the prisoners started a hunger strike in prisons. All the prisoners' belongings are confiscated and their rooms are raided arbitrarily. The prisoners went on hunger strike because they did not accept the isolation and pressure in the prison. They take our children to prisons far away from us. My wife hasn't been able to see her son for about 5 years. They should end this pressure and immediately hold a meeting with İmralı and pave the way for a solution."

Our children will end their strike and the way for a solution will be opened with the delegation that will go to İmralı. All states, people and authorities must condemn this situation and find a solution to prevent deaths from occurring. As mothers, we have always demanded peace and we reiterate this demand."

 

A CALL FOR THE ACTIONS

Those who remain silent about the situation of the families who are protesting today because their lungs are hurting will experience the same thing tomorrow. For this reason, everyone needs to support the protests before any deaths occur. Do not remain silent."
