Lawyers of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan are on their way to Imrali today to visit their client. Last week the visit was cancelled by the Turkish authorities because of "ongoing reparation on the boat" that should have taken the lawyers to Imrali island where Öcalan has been detained since 1999.

Lawyers Aydýn Oruç, Ýbrahim Bilmez and Faik Özgür Erol, have been setting off for Imrali after clearing the necessary paper work with the gendarmerie.
