PKK and PAJK prisoners in Turkish jails will go on a three-day hunger strike in protest at the isolation of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan and genocidal attacks targeting civilian people in North Kurdistan.
PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party) and PAJK (Kurdistan Women's Liberation Party) prisoners in Turkish jails will go on a three-day hunger strike in protest at the isolation of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan and genocidal attacks targeting civilian people in North Kurdistan.
In a statement on behalf of PKK and PAJK prisoners, Deniz Kaya said the hunger strike will begin tomorrow and last three days, but their protests will be stepped up together with the raising voice of the people in the event that fascist practices do not end.
Kaya pointed out that the AKP government was conducting an aggression in a quite blatant and irresponsible manner because it knew very well that it was doomed to be defeated by the will of peoples.
Kaya said the AKP's genocidal and annihilation executions against Kurdish people and the imposition of an aggravated isolation on their leader tested and pushed the Kurdish people's limits of tolerance.
Describing the transfer of two İmralı inmates to Silivri Prison as an open and dangerous threat against the Kurdish people and movement, Kaya underlined that; "No single power should test us with our Leader. The Turkish state and its governments know very well about the anger inflicted on our people and movement by the threats directed to our Leader who is our free will and honour; and our reason for war and peace, life and death. Those who laid their bodies to death in prisons in 12 September period, immolated themselves, shot the first bullet of resistance did all call our Leader's name, saying "Our Sun cannot be darkened."
Kaya stressed that they cannot be expected to remain silent in the face of the threats and fascist acts aimed at Kurdish people and their leader, and urged the AKP ruling to keep its hands off the Kurdish people's leader in order to avoid dragging the country into a bedlam.
Kaya called upon all oppressed peoples of Turkey and those who do not want to leave their future to the mercy of fascist governments to adopt a stance against this atrocity, raise their voices for the ending of the isolation and reinitiation of negotiations with Öcalan, guarantor of peace.
PKK and PAJK prisoners said their hunger strike will last from 26 to 28 January, adding that their protests will be stepped up together with the raising voice of the people in the event that fascist practices do not end.
