The hunger strike of Mazlum Dağ and Abdurrahman Er, who were arrested in the Federated Kurdistan Region in 2019 and put in Hewlêr Prison, continues on their 63rd day. Dağ and Er, who have been on hunger strike since May 18, demand an end to arbitrary searches, physical violence, insults and the imposition of uniforms.

 

Yesterday, it was announced that a commission was established by the Minister of Social Work of the Kurdistan Region to meet the demands of Dağ and Er. Families are also continuing their attempts towards their relatives; however, the demands of the two names have not been met yet.

 

Dağ and Er were arrested in the Federated Kurdistan Region on July 17, 2019 for allegedly attacking Turkish diplomat Osman Köse and Iraqi citizens Neriman Osman and Beşdar Ramazan at the Turkish Consulate General in Hewler.
