WHO IS NESRİN AKGÜL?

 

Nesrin Akgül was detained and arrested in Wan in 2008. Akgül, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the case in which she was tried, was sent to Amed, Şakran and Bakırköy prisons respectively. Akgül, who was lastly transferred to Kandıra No. 1 Type F Closed Prison, suffered indefinite and non rotate hunger, which was initiated by Democratic Society Congress (DTK) Co-chair Leyla Güven on November 8, 2018, with the demand for the lifting of the İmralı isolation, while she was arrested in Bakırköy Type L Women's Closed Prison. She joined the strike action on January 16, 2019 and turned her action into a death fast on April 30. The protests ended on May 26 after PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan met with his lawyers.
