Within the framework of the global campaign launched on 10 October demanding freedom for Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and a political solution to the Kurdish question, the 'Global Abdullah Öcalan Books Day' was organized with different events in many cities of Britain and Ireland. Academics, trade unionists, writers and politicians from Kurdistan movement attended the events.

Öcalan's books were read at the London KCC building with the participation of the Kurdish People's Assembly, KJAR, Tevgera Azadiye, PJAK, and Civaka Azad. Excerpts from his books 'Resistance of cultures', 'Sociology of freedom', 'Capitalist civilization' and 'Women's freedom' were read.

KCC director Ishak Milani, who opened the event, said that the thoughts and ideas of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan have a great impact all over the world and added: "Not only the Kurdish people but all the people of the world are talking and researching his ideas on freedom, equality and radical democracy. We share them and turn them into manifestos."

Milani said: “We will never get used to this isolation. Isolation will be broken and leader Öcalan will be freed."

In London, Kurdish patriots also held book readings in their homes. Kurdistan children Roj and Zana Ari said: “We listen, read and learn from Öcalan's books. We love him."

Cork

Abdullah Öcalan's books were also read at Cork University in Ireland. Philosophy department lecturer Dr. Jason Dockstader read passages from the book 'Sociology of freedom'. Dockstader said: "This book shows the breadth and depth of Öcalan's thought and work and how his political theory fits into a broader set of cosmological and metaphysical thoughts."
