PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan won't be able to see his lawyers this week. This latest refusal means Öcalan has not been able to talk to his lawyers for 288 days now.

This week the authorities in Bursa said the boat to Ýmralý was not working so lawyers Mazlum Dinç, Hüseyin Boðatekin and Rezan Sarýca have been denied permission to go and visit their client.
