Activists in Berlin demand freedom for Öcalan

On the second day of the march in Berlin, activists marched from Alexanderplatz to Brandenburger Tor.

The "Freedom March" held in Berlin, within the scope of the "Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, Solution to the Kurdish Question" campaign, started from Alexander Square on its second day.

Before the long march led by young members of Jinên Ciwanên Tekoşer (TekoJIN) and TCŞ (Tevgera Ciwanên Şoreşger), a minute’s silence was held for the Kurdistan Freedom Martyrs, followed by statements.

TekoJIN and TCŞ activists underlined that the protests will continue to increase day by day unless the isolation of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan ends and his physical freedom is achieved.

The statement said: “The occupying Turkish state has entered into a deadlock due to the policies it carries out towards us, the Kurdish youth, and the Kurdish people, in the person of Leader Öcalan. It aims to intimidate us with isolation policies. We shout from here again: We will break the absolute isolation, we will organize and defeat your policies. We, as Kurdish youth, will unite around our Leader on every field and under all circumstances and be in the streets until we achieve Öcalan’s physical freedom."

During the march, which ended at Brandenburger Tor, a call was made for participation in the central march to be held in Cologne, on 17 February.
