Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan was given a new 3-month family visit ban following a "disciplinary punishment".

IMRALI ISOLATION

According to the Mezopotamya Agency, a new 3-month family visit ban was imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and the other prisoners in Imralı, Hamili Yıldırım, Ömer Hayri Konar and Veysi Aktaş.

Bursa Execution Judgeship responded to the application made by lawyers to grant a family viist. The court said that a new "disciplinary punishment" was given to Abdullah Öcalan by the Disciplinary Board Presidency on 28 March. The decision was finalized on 12 April.

Pointing out that the process was carried out without their knowledge, the lawyers applied for the disciplinary decision, file and evidence to be given on 26 April. However, their applications were rejected. The lawyers' objections against the "disciplinary punishment" decision were rejected on the grounds that the decision was final.

There has been no news from Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan since 25 March 2021, when he had a very short phone call with his brother.
