Mazlum Dora, who was prevented from watching Kurdish news and music channels as "inconvenient", announced that he went on hunger strike in Stammheim Prison where he was held.
Mazlum Dora, who has been imprisoned for a year in Stammheim Prison in Stuttgart, said that he went on hunger strike.
At the hearing held in Stammheim on 4 May, Dora said that she went on hunger strike on Monday because she was prevented from watching the news channels Medya Haber, Stêrk Tv and MED Muzik, which broadcasts Kurdish music. She said: “When I turned on the TV on Monday to watch it, I noticed that those channels were closed. When I asked why, they said they closed them because they found them inconvenient.”
Dora's lawyer, Christos Psaltiras, told Yeni Özgür Politika that they would make a written application to stop the unlawful practice.
