MED TUHAD-FED: Isolation must be lifted

MED TUHAD-FED reiterated that isolation should be removed immediately and Öcalan's efforts for peace should be supported.

The Federation of the Associations of Solidarity with Prisoners' Families (MED TUHAD-FED) issued a written statement to celebrate the birthday of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan.

The statement emphasized that the capitalist system has brought the world to an unbearable level with neoliberal policies, consumption, war and ecological destructions. 

"It is under the Imrali torture and isolation system, that Mr. Abdullah Öcalan, who repeatedly said that capitalist modernity is an enemy of man and nature, celebrates his 71st birthday. Despite all the obstacles and difficulties, Mr. Abdullah Öcalan, is contuining his efforts to establish peace for the people against the ongoing war policies in Kurdistan. 

The statement underlined that "again, in the Middle East, there are growing concerns for global powers to confront the people and for Kurds to be threatened with a new genocide. The policies of imposing war, destroying and erasing the Kurdish people continue. Despite all efforts by the power, Mr Abdullah Öcalan could not be separated by the Kurdish people with the isolation policies pursued in Imralı." 

MED TUHAD-FED reiterated that isolation should be removed immediately and Öcalan's efforts for peace should be supported.
