The Vigil for Öcalan was launched almost 6 months ago in the Martyr Rustem Cudi Refugee Camp (Maxmur) to demand freedom for Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and the end of the isolation imposed on him continues with determination.

The vigil action entered its 175th day on Tuesday, and was taken over by the 35th group of citizens.

The vigil was handed over at a ceremony held at the Martyrs' Families Institution in the evening. Ali Bilehî made a speech on behalf of the 34th group at the handover ceremony of the action.

Bilehî condemned the isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and said: “There has been no news from our Leader for almost 3 years. We have the right to take action to get news from him. Now is the time for our leader's freedom."
