Öcalan Vigil will organize an International Twitter-Space on 9 May at 7pm where an international panel will discuss this important topic. The meeting is titled Freeing Abdullah Öcalan: The Key to Unlocking the Kurdish Question.

The program is as follows:

Malvern de Bruyn – Leaders of Revolutions Reflect the Collective Desire

Many people in the West keep asking why the Kurds see Öcalan’s freedom as a condition for peace. In this context, Malvern de Bryun will talk about how the condition of the South African freedom struggle was tied to the release of Mandela.

Marwa Alsoinis – A New Achievement: How Women’s Revolution is Determining a Societal Revolution

Marwa Alsonis will speak about how the Kurdish women's freedom struggle democratises and liberates society from oppressive patriarchal ideologies and its importance for the Middle East.

Jonas Staal – Imrali Prison Island: How Thoughts and Ideas are Criminalised

Jonas Staal will contrast Öcalan’s philosophical alternative of democratic confederalism against rising nationalism, religiousness, and misogyny.

Dr. Deepa Driver – Political Power Interests Above International Law

Dr. Driver will make a comparison between Julian Assange and Öcalan’s legal cases. Above all, she will explain how the law is distorted and manipulated by political interests.

Michaela Arricale – Öcalan as an International Prisoner

Michaela Arricale will present the position of the European Council, the CPT, and the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Öcalan.
