Twitterkurds organizes a mass tweet to raise awareness on the hunger strike by Kurdish prisoners.

380 political prisoners in 39 Kurdish prisons started an indefinite and non-alternate hunger strike on 12 September. The strike was later joined by more and more Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and Kurdistan Women’s Liberation Party (PAJK) prisoners on 15 October. The Kurdish political prisoners on strike highlight two main demands; freedom for Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan and removal of all obstacles before the right to mother language.
