Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who is kept under absolute isolation in İmralı F Type High Security Closed Prison, has not been heard from since his interrupted phone call with his brother Mehmet Öcalan on 25 March 2021.

According to Mezopotamya News Agency, Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and his fellow prisoners in İmralı, Ömer Hayri Konar, Veysi Aktaş and Hamili Yıldırım, were given a new 6-month ban on lawyer visits.

Lawyers of Asrin Law Office applied to Bursa 2nd Execution Judgeship with a request for a meeting. After the application, the lawyers found out that a new 6-month ban on their clients had been issued on 3 May. The lawyers were not informed about the reason for the ban.

The objections to the decision were rejected. The lawyers will apply to the Constitutional Court (AYM) against the ban.

Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan was last banned from seeing his lawyer for 6 months on 31 October 2023.
