An action was held in Araau, Switzerland, to draw attention to the isolation imposed on Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan and to demand his freedom.

Promoted by Aarau Rojbîn Women's Council, the rally began with a minute's silence.

CDK co-chair Emrullah Bingül said: “We will be in the streets until the rightful demands of the Kurdish people are answered. This action is within the scope of the 'Dem Dema Azadîye Ye' campaign against isolation, occupation and massacres.”

Politician Dilan Zaza said in her speech: “We will liberate our Leadership and Kurdistan by countering the all-out destruction attacks on the Kurdish people and their lands.”
