The German state increased its pressure on Kurds after the contacts and talks made by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu in the capital Berlin last week. Following the raids against Medya People's House and Makbule Kartal's house in Nuremberg on Friday, police on Tuesday also raided the house of the Kurdistan Communities Federation (FCK-BW-BAYERN) co-chair Sait Öztürk in Heilbronn city.

Kurdish politician Abdullah Öcalan (who bears the name of the Kurdish leader), who was beaten and detained while leaving Öztürk's house. It was revealed that the Federal Attorney General's Office in central Karlsruhe had been investigating the Kurdish politician since 2019. In a statement issued about the investigation, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said that the order to remand Öcalan in custody was taken on Wednesday.

In the investigation launched in accordance with Article 129b, it was alleged that Öcalan, was a member of a "foreign terrorist organization", was the "region manager" of the PKK covering many cities in the south of Germany and was working on behalf of the PKK. Although the PKK's activities in Germany have been banned by the decision of the Ministry of Interior in 1993, many Kurdish politicians and activists are still being accused of working on behalf of the PKK.

Abdullah Öcalan, who has been in exile for many years, was one of the hunger strikers in Strasbourg after the poisoning attempt of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan, in the prison island of Imralı in 2007. Eighteen Kurdish politicians and activists joined the 39-day hunger strike, along with Öcalan.
