The campaign Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan: A Political Solution to the Kurdish Question, has declared 1-10 October Global Free Öcalan Days.

This initiative marks the one-year anniversary of ths campaign, which was launched on 10 October 2023 in Strasbourg, France.

During the "Free Öcalan Global Days" we will organize a series of events in more than 20 countries (Austria, Slovenia, Greece, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, France, South Africa, Indonesia, Colombia). Including press conferences, seminars and public discussions to promote dialogue and raise awareness. We encourage media representatives to participate, report and amplify the voices of those working for justice and reconciliation.

The campaign wrote: "As we reflect on the past year, we acknowledge the significant progress made in raising awareness of the plight of Abdullah Öcalan, who has endured more than three and a half years of inhumane isolation by the Turkish state. Our campaign has successfully built a broad international network of support, including legal experts, political figures, and human rights defenders committed to Öcalan's rights and the broader Kurdish issue."

To mark the anniversary of Öcalan’s expulsion from Syria on 9 October 1998 – the first step in the international conspiracy that led to his abduction – the International Solidarity Network is preparing a hashtag campaign for the evening of 8 October, at 19:00 European time and 20:00 Kurdistan time.
