The hunger strike against the isolation regime imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, continues in Strasbourg.

The 14 Kurdish activists on hunger strike began their fast on 17 December 2018. 

Despite the many health problems they are experiencing the activists reiterate their determination and said that they will continue the hunger strike until isolation is lifted. 

The hunger strike in Strasbourg has reached day 106 and the activists are receiving many visitors every day. 

Among the latest visitors was a group of activists from the Zurich Amed Fraternity Bridge.

Health condition worsening 

Swiss activist Jochi Weil-Goldstein said that the ongoing hunger strike resistance was very meaningful for them and that they respected the will of the activists. Underlining that the health of the activists was of great concern for them, Goldstein added that they appreciated the political determination of the activists.

Isolation is not humane

The isolation of Öcalan, said Goldstein, must be lifted as it is a inhumane measure. 

He added that in fact isolation is not only applied to Öcalan but to the entire Kurdish people. 

Goldstein said: “From the first day of hunger strike we have organized many solidarity actions. We prepared a report and shared it with the public opinion. I am sure that this action will be successful.”
