Activists from Hannover take over Freedom for Öcalan Vigil

A group of activists from Hannover took over the vigil that the Kurdish people and their friends carried out, demanding freedom for Abdullah Öcalan in Strasbourg.

The vigil that the Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan Initiative started in Strasbourg, on 25 June 2012, demanding to end the isolation of the Kurdish people's leader and ensure his physical freedom, continues in its 11th year.

Every week, a group from a different part of Europe carries out the vigil, which is held where various European institutions are located.

Members of the Democratic Kurdistan Community Center (DKTM) in Hannover, took over the action in its 534th week.

The group includes Cuma Özdoğan, Ronahi Özdoğan, Deniz Bagok and Mehmet Zinar.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Cuma Özdoğan said that it is the duty of the Kurdish people to lift the isolation and ensure the freedom of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan.
