Speaking at the Aegean Region Organisation Meeting of her party, DEM Party Co-Chair Tülay Hatimoğulları said “Imrali isolation should be lifted and Abdullah Öcalan should speak for an honourable peace and a solution to the Kurdish question.”
German lawyer Heike Geisweid said that the isolation imposed on Abdullah Öcalan is a violation of international law and human rights, and that his freedom is a very important and vital issue for the solution of the Kurdish question.
Suzan Akipa from the Asrın Law Office described isolation as a form of oppressive regime - an approach aimed at ignoring issues through extralegal methods, suppressing opposition, and rendering the affected individuals invisible.
