A march was held in front of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva to demand the end of the absolute isolation against Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan. The activists also asked that the demands of Mazlum Dağ and Abdurrahman Er, who have been on hunger strike in Hewlêr Prison for 57 days, be met and that they be released as soon as possible.

The protest at Place de la Navigation was promoted by the Geneva Democratic Kurdish Community Center (CDK), and ended from there to Palais Wilson square, where the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCR) is located.

CDK Geneva co-chair Mehmet Latif Çelebi said that the Kurdish People's Leader has been imprisoned in absolute isolation for 28 months in violation of international law and human rights, and added: "Life-threatening letters have been given to our Leader. The Kurdish people know very well for what purpose and by which hands these letters were written. The Kurdish people have been unaware of their leader's health, safety and, most importantly, his life for 28 months."

Pointing out that the genocide policies against the Kurdish people, which lasted for 100 years, are intended to be continued for another 100 years, Çelebi called on the Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT), the UN Human Rights Office (OHCR) and other authorized institutions to fulfil their responsibilities.

Çelebi demanded the release of Mazlum Dağ and Abdurrahman Er, who have been held in prison in Hewlêr since 23 July 2019 and went on a hunger strike to protest their trial for a crime they did not commit, and called for their participation in the march to be held in Lausanne on 23 July.
