	The hunger strike initiated by Democratic Society Congress (DTK) Co-chair and People's Democratic Party (HDP) hakkari Deputy Leyla Güven with the demand of termination of the isolation on PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan is on its 111st day. The indefinite non-rotating hunger strike of the 317 political prisoners in 62 differen prisons who participated in Güven's action is continuing.

	One of these prisoners is Ramazan Sayan who got arrested at 20 with the charge of 'being a member of an illegal organization' in 2016 and were sentenced to 15 years of prison time. Sayan is on a hunger strike in Alanya Type L Closed prison for 53 days today.

	&nbsp;

	Father Sayan shared his son's message where he says: " We will not take a step back and will go forward with the hunger strike until our demand is met. You shouldn't be talking about our health, you should be talking about our resistance. We will make history with our resistance. If our community engages around this resistance with awareness, we will win."

	&nbsp;

	Father Sayan who said: " The government will be responsible of any possible negative outcome if they do not act fast towards a solution. The resistance of the political prisoners means the world to us and we will back them no matter what. I am proud of my son."
