The German leg of the ongoing hunger strike resistance demanding the removal of isolation from Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan is being carried out by Kurdish activists Cemal Kobanê, Ömer Bağdur, Mele Mustafa Tuzak and Şiyar Xelil.

Tuzak has been on hunger strike for 109 days, Xelil 96, Kobanê and Bağdur 93.

The hunger strike is being carried out at the premises of NAV-DEM and activists received many visits there. 

Kamuran Akın, one of the academics who were dismissed by the Erdoğan regime decree, for demanding peace with a group of scientists and academics, visited the activists.

Akın spoke with the activists and said: “We are proud of you and your action. We will try to do our best to ensure your voice is heard everywhere.”

Speaking on behalf of the hunger strikers Mele Mustafa Tuzak said: “This isolation is not only imposed on our president, but on all the people of Kurdistan. Unfortunately, the world does not want to hear the cry of Kurds. We want to end isolation because President Apo is the voice of freedom of the Kurds and the peoples of the Middle East.”

Speaking to ANF after the visit, academic Kamuran Akın stated that he wanted to visit the activists especially after Cemal Kobanê's discomfort and serious deterioration of his health. 

Akın confirmed that the morale of the activists is high. “This situation - he said - is giving us morale. I can tell you I get morale from them. The Kurdish people in the diaspora have a big task. We must ve the voice of this action.”

Akın added that Kurds living in Germany and Europe have to go out on the streets and put pressure on their counterparts. Akın, who drew attention to the situation of the 15 prisoners who started the death fast in prisons, said to be sure that “the hunger strike resistance will defeat fascism.”
