Women in Martyr Rüstem Cudi (Maxmur) Camp have undertaken a hunger strike action against the isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan under the leadership of the Ishtar Assembly and saluted the prison resistance.

The first group of the hunger strike consists of 10 women. The action of the first group will last for two days at the Association of Martyrs’ Families.

'THE KURDISH PEOPLE MUST RISE UP'

Speaking on behalf of the activists, Fedile Tok said there has been an indefinite-alternating hunger strike since November 27 in the prisons of Kurdistan and Turkey to lift the isolation of the Kurdish People's Leader Öcalan. Tok said they were in solidarity with those joining the hunger strike in prisons.

Tok emphasised that the isolation on Öcalan cannot be accepted, adding; "All Kurdish people should stand up against the isolation. It is time to break the doors of prisons and achieve freedom."
