PKK and PAJK prisoners on hunger strike
Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and Kurdistan Women’s Liberation Party (PAJK) prisoners in all Turkish prisons have started an indefinite and non-alternate hunger strike on Monday.
The strike of 380 political prisoners in 39 prisons which has been going on since September 12 has been joined by all PKK and PAJK prisoners as of October 15, as had been announced by Deniz Kaya on behalf of all PKK and PAJK prisoners yesterday.
The statement by Kaya underlined that they will take no steps backward and added; “We will not hear the voice of any power other than our leader and the movement”, referring to Mr. Öcalan and the PKK.
“It should be known very well that we will not desist from our act in the face of our leader’s isolation and the physical, political and cultural slaughter imposed on the Kurdish people by security forces of the racist AKP government”, said Kaya and pointed out that they are ready to pay any price for their freedom, leader and people.
Families of Kurdish political prisoners are also preparing to join the historic indefinite and non-alternate hunger strike as of October 16.
In a press release on behalf of families of prisoners yesterday, Selim Ýnal stated that they will not leave the prisoners alone and start a process of democratic actions in front of Diyarbakýr E Type Prison on Tuesday.
Families said that the AKP government and the Ministry of Justice would be responsible for any unfavourable consequences in the strikes.
Peace Mothers Initiative member Havva Kýran called for support to prisoners and underlined; “We need to voice our reactions and give a struggle for our identity and the liberation of our country.”
