To protest the aggravated isolation of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and to express the demand for his freedom to the public, Kurdish youths started yesterday a bicycle tour of approximately 180 kilometers, to be covered in four days, throughout German federal state Bavaria.  The activity started in Nuremberg and will continue in Weibenburg, Ingolstadt, Unterschleibheim and Munich.

Participants of the bicycle tour have been obstructed by the Ingolstadt police in St. Egidi town today because of Öcalan’s posters they are carrying.

While the German police urged the Kurdish youths to leave off the images of the Kurdish leader, demonstrators started a sit-in in the town in protest at the obstruction of the police.
