The long march of the Kurdish youth movement for the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan continues for the third day in a row. Today's theme is "Öcalan and the women's question". The mood of the participants is unbroken despite police provocations.

The departure of the young activists at Luisenplatz in Darmstadt in the morning was hindered by police measures. The police meticulously searched the accompanying vehicles for banned symbols. An internationalist from Germany was arrested.

Only after that could the youth set off on their journey under the lead of young women. Today, a march of about twenty kilometers to Bensheim is planned. The police forces are present and film the young people chanting slogans.

A seminar on Öcalan's ideas on gender issues will take place in the evening.
