Two Kurdish activists, Sultan Yiğit and Şivan Ağaoğlu are on a hunger strike in Vienna to protest the isolation of Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Ocalan.

The two activists started their hunger strike on February 1 in the Austrian capital.

In addition to the Kurds living in Vienna, Co-chair of the Syrian Democratic Council, Riyad Derar, also paid a visit to the hunger strikers yesterday.

Derar stated that the activists were righteous in their demands, and the isolation on Ocalan should be ended immediately.

“The [hunger strike] campaign will certainly succeed,” said Derar.
