The call for the Long March 2022 has been issued. Under the slogan “For the freedom of Rêber Apo – Join the struggle for freedom”, the march will go from Essen to Aachen.

The call reads as follows:

We call on all internationalists to join the long march from September 10- September 16. Under the slogan “For the freedom of Rêber Apo – Join the struggle for freedom”, the march will go from Essen to Aachen.

Abdullah Öcalan has been in isolation on the prison island of Imrali for more than 23 years. Contact with his lawyers and family has been restricted and prevented for years. Through Öcalan’s isolation, not only a single person but an entire people is criminalized and imprisoned.

Öcalan’s isolation prevents a peaceful solution of the Kurdish question and the problems in the Middle East.
Every day we walk together from town to town and in this way we strengthen our will and build communal life. In the evenings there will be lectures, discussions or film screenings about the Kurdish freedom movement.
