A protest with around 50 vehicles was organised in Toronto on the 23rd anniversary of the international conspiracy against Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan that led to his abduction from Kenya to Turkey on 15 February 1999. Öcalan has been held in aggravated isolation in the Imrali Island Prison since.

The Toronto Democratic Kurdish People's Assembly organised the protest which took place on Tuesday.

Kurds gathered in front of the Toronto Democratic Kurdish Association and displayed posters of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and banners representing the Kurdish liberation movement on their cars and windows.

For almost three hours, the convoy toured the city's busiest areas.
