The invading Turkish state has been subjecting Kurdish people’s leader Abdullah Öcalan to strict isolation and denying him family and lawyer visits for 27 months. Such an aggravated isolation constitutes a crime in all laws worldwide and cannot be executed against any prisoner. With his freedom philosophy, Leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan) represents the oppressed peoples. This crime against humanity, however, is committed against the Kurdish nation with the cooperation and support of all governing powers. No power other than those involved in the international conspiracy can access Imralı.

What is the meaning of sending unnamed and undated letters to Leader Apo? This is an act of the invading and fascist Turkish state, practiced with the order and permission of Erdoğan, who thus jeopardizes, through such dangerous threats, the one chance he is given for Öcalan’s sake. In other words, it is thanks to Leader Apo’s existence that Erdoğan can breathe freely. It is thanks to Leader Apo that Turkey is safe and not on fire. It is thanks to Leader Apo that a people persecuted in the grip of genocide rose up for their freedom and took the path of struggle, progressing with honour and expanding the objective of freedom. Leader Apo fought not only for the Kurdish people, but for the freedom of all oppressed peoples. He read, searched, created, worked and organised. With his philosophy, he paved the way of every individual and esteemed them. Leader Apo’s philosophy became the hope of oppressed peoples for justice and freedom.

Leader Apo sacrificed himself to achieve peace and to make sure that every people live with their own existence and identity. He created a level of awareness for the youth, women, children and elderly. He created life out of death, light out of the dark, an orchard out of the desert. He warned those who had fallen into the clutches of the ruling system, and raised their awareness. He did not allow death, teaching humanity a free life and self-devotion.

Today, the creator of free life is sent unnamed and undated letters with threats of death and poisoning. It would be a great shame for all those who got to know themselves and woke up to truths with a sentence of Leader Apo not to rise up and shake the whole world. Leader Apo is the common love of all the oppressed and all those on the side of freedom. He has been paying a price in Imrali for 24 years for the fraternity of peoples and a free life. He has been resisting on an island for 24 years so that mothers do not cry anymore, so that children laugh, so that women do not suffer violence and rape anymore and so that life is cleared of theft, evil, lie, deception and corruption.

Leader Apo is threatened with poisoning today. Now that this is the case, it is high time we made a sacrifice. Leader Apo is our Sun. It is time to become a circle of fire around him. Leader Apo is our red line that nobody can infringe on. He is the qibla of our heart and soul, the taste, meaning and colour of life. Our sacred qibla is under threat today. They want to darken our sun once again. Courage, companionship, honour, dignity, divinity, pride and success can be achieved by standing up for Abdullah Öcalan.
