Lawyers Rezan Sarýca, Mazlum Dinç and Hüseyin Boðatekin have been denied permission to visit their client, Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan in Imralý island.

The authorities in Bursa said the ferry operating between the mainland and the island was once again out of service.

The last time lawyers have been able to see their client was 27 July 2011. Since then, there has been no news about the Kurdish leader, his health and situation.
