Political prisoners launched an indefinite-alternating hunger strike in Turkish prisons on November 27, in a bid to end the isolation against PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who has been held in İmralı High Security F Type Closed Prison for 22 years, and to protest the increasing violations of rights in prisons. The action is on its 136th day and is carried out by the 28th group of prisoners.
