Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan continues to be kept in total isolation in Imrali prison island. Political prisoners in Turkey and Kurdistan have launched an indefinite and alternate hunger strike to demand the end of isolation as well as the end of violations in prison.

The hunger strike has been taken over by the 7th group of prisoners and has entered its 31st day.

The authorities in prisons and the Ministry of Justice, far from meeting the demands of the prisoners, imposed on them punishments for their democratic action.
