Hunger strikers in the Hague: We will resist and prevail
Hasbi Çakıcı and Hüseyin Yıldız, Kurdish activists on an indefinite and non-alternating hunger strike in the Dutch city of the Hague, said: “We will resist to the end, and we will prevail.”
An indefinite and non-alternating hunger strike has been launched by Kurdish activists Hasbi Çakıcı and Hüseyin Yıldız in the Hague to protest the isolation of the Kurdish people’s leader, Abdullah Ocalan. Çakıcı is on day 14 and Yıldız on day 15 of the hunger strike.
“The ongoing hunger strike is similar to the resistance in Amed prison after the 1980 coup [in Turkey]. It is a way out for the freedom of our people who are held captive and isolated in the person of our Leader,” said Çakıcı.
Çakıcı recalled that their demand was to end the isolation of Ocalan, “Our people must address this critical period well. Like our comrades, we will resist to the end, and we will definitevely prevail,” Çakıcı added.
