Prisoner on hunger strike says action will continue until isolation is lifted
Ethem Göktürk, who is on hunger strike in Yozgat Type T Prison No. 2, said that they will continue their actions with determination and called for sensitivity.
The hunger strikes, which were launched in the prisons of Turkey and Kurdistan on 27 November with the slogan "Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, solution to the Kurdish question", have reached day 36.
Prisoner Ethem Göktürk, held in Yozgat No. 2 T Type Closed Prison, said that he was on hunger strike in his weekly phone call with his family, and emphasized that they would continue their actions with determination.
Reiterating the demands of the prisoners, Göktürk said: "We will continue this hunger strike until the isolation imposed on Mr. Öcalan is not broken. There are 2 wards where political prisoners are held. Now 2 of our friends are on hunger strike. The isolation imposed on Mr. Öcalan is an isolation applied to all prisoners, in fact, to all people. We call on all sensitive people to be our voice."
