Hunger strike for Öcalan in Toronto

The action has been undertaken in solidarity with HDP Hakkari deputy Leyla Güven.

The jailed HDP deputy is on hunger strike in Amed jail for 27 days. She is demanding an end to the isolation regime imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan.

Solidarity hunger strikes are being carried out in Europe as well as in Kurdistan and Turkey.

Leyla Güven is entering a very delicate stage in her fast and therefore actions are increasing to support the Hakkari deputy.

Members of the Kurdish People's Assembly launched a hunger strike action in Toronto, Canada, underlining that Leyla Güven’s demands “are our demands”.
