VAN
The Justice Watch, initiated by the families of the detainees at the Van Bar Association, continues on its 34th day. Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Westan (Gevaş) District Organization visited their families during the day. During the visit, HDP Westan District Manager Basri Arslan stated that the isolation against PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan has spread to the whole society, and the way to break it is through struggle.
Stating that the state increased its pressure lately, Arslan said, "They aim to silence the society by suppressing the society through isolation and to take away their other rights. They resort to repression to break the will of a society that is in resistance. We know that there are examples in history that proves us this oppression and isolation policy will fail."
