The book "Sociology of Freedom" by Abdullah Öcalan was presented in Milan. The book is the third volume of Öcalan's "Manifesto of Democratic Civilisation", written between 2007 and 2010 on the prison island of Imrali. The Italian edition is published by Punto Rosso under the title "Sociologia della Liberta".

Many interested people attended the book launch. Roberto Mapelli from the Punto Rosso publishing house welcomed those present and gave an insight into the work of Abdullah Öcalan. Afterwards, representatives of the Kurdish Committee in Italy and the women's solidarity network Rete Jin spoke.

John Holloway, who teaches sociology at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla in Mexico and, among other things, wrote the much-discussed book "Changing the World Without Taking Power" (2002), which has been translated into many languages, participated in the event online.

In the speeches, the teachings of Abdullah Öcalan were described as hope for the liberation struggle of the oppressed and a call was made to fight against the isolation of the Kurdish leader. It was underlined that the paradigm of Democratic Confederalism put forward by Öcalan is being put into practice in the autonomous region of Northern and Eastern Syria and that the culture of a society based on women's liberation, ecology and grassroots democracy is increasingly being established.

The event ended with songs performed by Italian and Kurdish musicians.
