Turkey, Nov 23 -
The isolation of the Kurdish national leader
Abdullah Ocalan continues. Lawyers of Ocalan were
once again stopped by Turkish military authorities
at the military harbor port at Gemlik in western
Turkey.
Ocalan's lawyers Ibrahim Bilmez, Rainer Ahues and
the translator Ali Mesut Önen and Ocalan's sister
Fatma Ocalan, were stopped by Turkish gendarmerie
soldiers at Gemlik on the grounds that the lawyer's
ferryboat 'Imrali-9' was broken.
The ferryboat 'Imrali-9' has for 26 weeks been
frequently broken. Particularly on Wednesdays, the
only day when Ocalan's lawyers and family members
are allowed to visit their client. |
Kurdish Leader , Abdullah Ocalan |
The isolation of the Kurdish national leader
Abdullah Ocalan by the Turkish state has now entered
its 26th week.
Number of signatories for Ocalan reaches 60,000
in Istanbul
In Istanbul, the number of signatories in the "Ocalan
is my political volition" campaign (also called "The
Ocalan Referendum") has reached 60,000.
"Our goal is at least one million signatories. We
hope to reach it, even though we had to interrupt
our activities due to the bomb attack in Semdinli
and the protests that followed it," the campaign's
Istanbul province spokesman Luftu Dag said.
The campaign will continue all over Turkey and
Kurdistan until the end of January next year. The
signatures will then be handed over to Turkey's
president, the Turkish parliament, the European
parliament and the United Nations.
