Lawyer applied to visit Öcalan for 786th time

Abdullah Öcalan's lawyers have applied for a visit with their client for the 786th time.

Lawyers have not been meeting with their client, Abdullah Öcalan, since 2011.

On Tuesday they have once again applied to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecution Office for permission to visit their client.

Lawyers Cengiz Yürekli, Serbay Köklü and Sinan Zincir presented the application for the 786th time.

The previous 785 applications since 27 July 2011 were rejected for arbitrary reasons such as "weather condition", "problems with the boat", "boat bein repaired" and "State of Emergency, OHAL".
