TURKISH and Kurdish community activists protested outside Parliament today to raise awareness of an ongoing hunger strike over Abdullah Ocalan being in “barbaric” conditions.
Thousands of people in Turkey are believed to have joined the hunger strike, which was initiated by the Kurdish opposition MP Leyla Guven, who has been on hunger strike for 162 days.
The protesters are demanding that Turkish authorities allow Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) founder Mr Ocalan regular visits from his relatives and his legal team.
