Abdullah Ocalan’s Prison Writings now on the Amazon Kindle

Transmedia Publishing has announced the publication of the ebook edition of the second volume of Abdullah Ocalan’s Prison Writings: The PKK and the Kurdish Question in the 21st century.

For a limited time the book will be available from the Kindle Store for a discounted introductory price ($4,99). The promotional period runs for two weeks beginning Friday 10, 2011.

Abdullah Ocalan, leader of the Kurdish revolutionary movement, the PKK, was the most wanted man in Turkey for almost two decades until he was kidnapped and arrested in 1999. He is now serving a life sentence in a Turkish prison on an island off the Turkish coast.

In his second book Mr. Ocalan applies the political and historical philosophy that was developed in the first volume of his PRISON WRITINGS: THE ROOTS OF CIVILISATION (Pluto Press) to the Kurdish question.

He calls for a “Renaissance of the Middle East” that can result in the integration of democratic western values and universal human rights with the cultural values of the Middle Eastern societies. The book is widely hailed as offering an opportunity for a peaceful resolution of the Kurdish issue.

Abdullah Ocalan has been in Imrali prison since 1999.
