Solidarity with the hunger strike in Stockholm, Basel, Cologne

Actions in solidarity with the hunger strike were organised in Stockholm, Basel and Cologne. 

The hunger strike resistance demanding the end of isolation of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan has been joined by thousands of prisoners and dozens of activists around Europe and Kurdistan.

Stockholm

An action was organised in Stockholm on Monday evening to support the hunger strike resistance led by DTK co-chair and HdP MP Leyla Güven.

Speaking to ANF activists said that the statements by the Ministry of Justice and other Turkish officials that isolation has been removed are actually a distraction and an attempt to win Kurds’ vote in the outrageous re-run of the Istanbul elections next month. 

Basel 

In Basel a protest was organized in order to endorse the hunger strike and death fast resistance.

The action carried out at Barfüsserplatz was organised by the Solidarity with the Hunger Strike Platform.

Activists carried photographs of the hunger strikers and Öcalan.

Kurds living in Switzerland will be joining today’s rally in Brussels. 

Cologne

The Viyan Women's Council in Cologne protested against isolation with an action they carried out on Monday evening at Bahnhof Vorplatz.

Activists who spoke at the demonstration condemned the attacks carried out by the Turkish state in Halfeti and Bozova.
