"First of all, I greet friends resisting in prison and outside, in Europe. I wish them success in their struggle.

Taking part in such a sacred action gives morale and joy for all of us. I'm on my 59th day of hunger strike today. I am happy to be carrying out a sacred action initiated by Heval (Comrade) Leyla with the other comrades. My morale is good. As long as the Kurdish People's Leader is Abdullah Öcalan is in question, we can all say that we will stand tall and walk happily on this path.

The end of isolation against our Leader, the opening of a dialogue; visits by lawyers and family: this is our demands.”

Sedat Akın continued: “These demands are not merely the demands of the Kurdish people but of anyone who calls himself a democrat, a socialist, peace lover.

We invite everyone to this action.

Our request from our people is to raise their voice to put an end to isolation. Raise your voice before the news of martyrdom comes from prisons. Isolation is applied to all the Kurdish people and the society in Turkey. We should be able to break this isolation together. We believe that hand in hand, we will break this isolation.”

Call to people

From here I send greetings to Heval Leyla, Nasir and our comrades in Europe.”
