In the Danish capital Copenhagen, the Kurdish Women's Council Sêvê held a demonstration under the slogan "No life without Öcalan".

The spokeswoman for the Women's Council, Saime Bilen, gave a speech in which she addressed the philosophy and political ideas of Abdullah Öcalan. "Öcalan is the most important person in making peace in Turkey and the Middle East. We demand that NATO, the EU and, in particular, the CPT fulfill their responsibilities."

The Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture, CPT, published a report on a two-year earlier visit to Öcalan on the prison island of Imrali after the occupation of Afrin by Turkey. The report was widely criticised, mainly by the Kurds, for not being an attempt to quell the concerns and expectations of the Kurdish people, but to lessen the fury and reaction of the Kurdish people and their allies as part of the psychological warfare waged by fascism.
