Several organizations including the Kurdish Women's Movement in Europe (TJK-E), Ciwanên Azad, Democratic Kurdish Society Center and Martyrs' Families Institution are organising the demonstration.

The TJK-E representative drew attention the importance of the demonstration demanding an end to the torture and mistreatment in prisons in Turkey and North Kurdistan, and emphasized that the prisoners on hunger strike should not be left alone in their protest.
The TJK-E representative called for strong participation in the demonstration which -she said- will be held in order to raise awareness in European countries on the hunger strike in prisons.
