CALL TO THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

 

Reminding the applications made to the Ministry of Justice for a meeting request in İmralı, Sürücü said: “We made an application, but the Ministry of Justice did not respond. We have been on the demonstration for 29 days, our voices are not heard. As long as the isolation continues, our struggle will continue. We are calling out to the Ministry of Justice, stop the isolation and open the gates of Imrali. The lawyer and his family should meet with Mr. Öcalan as soon as possible.”
