The first group of the hunger strike consists of 10 women. The action of the first group will last for two days at the Association of Martyrs’ Families.

'THE KURDISH PEOPLE MUST RISE UP'

Speaking on behalf of the activists, Fedile Tok said there has been an indefinite-alternating hunger strike since November 27 in the prisons of Kurdistan and Turkey to lift the isolation of the Kurdish People's Leader Öcalan.
