While the indefinite hunger strike of two activists in the Hague approaches the 80th day, the hunger strike in Rome entered day 17, joined by Italians in solidarity with the demand of the Kurdish activists.
The Kurdish hunger strike action started by HDP MP Leyla Güven continues with the participation of thousands of prisoners in Turkish jails as well as dozens of activists in Turkey, Kurdistan, Europe and all around the world. The protest demands the end of the isolation imposed on Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan.
