Unlimited hunger strike against Öcalan's isolation in Hewler

HDP Hewler Assembly Member Nasir Yagiz has gone on an unlimited hunger strike to protest the isolation.

Support continues to pour in from the Kurdistan region for the imprisoned HDP MP and DTK Co-chair Leyla Guven who started a hunger strike to protest the isolation imposed upon Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan. HDP representatives announced that the hunger strike they launched on November 21 has been turned into an unlimited hunger strike.

HDP Hewler (Erbil) Assembly Member Nasir Yagiz, among the activists on hunger strike, started an unlimited hunger strike.

Yagiz said, “We will continue with the unlimited hunger strike if the isolation imposed upon PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan is not lifted.”

The second group took over the hunger strike in Hewler at 11:00 today.

HDP Representative Mizgîn Arî said the hunger strike will continue until the isolation ends.
