Once more prison authorities have denied PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan his right to meet with his lawyers.

Once more the excuse used for this denial has been the wheather.

Lawyers Hüseyin Boðatekin, Mazlum Dinç and Suna Bilgin, had applied for visit to the authorities.

It is since 27 July that Öcalan has been prevented from seeing his lawyers. No first hand news about his health and conditions have been available in many months as Ýmralý island has been virtually cut off from the rest of country.

Protests against this situation and abuse are going on around the country and abroad.
