CPT IMRALI VISIT

 

Sharing their concern about the situation of PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, the committee's statement included the following statements: “A delegation formed by the CPT recently went to İmralı Island Prison to meet with Abdullah Öcalan. However, the delegation could not meet with Öcalan. Although it has been a long time since the last meeting with Abdullah Öcalan, none of the members of the delegation saw Öcalan. This is a very disturbing fact for us.

 

Öcalan's comrades and we are worried about Öcalan. Therefore, we request the Turkish government to immediately inform about his fate and to arrange a meeting with Öcalan immediately. More than ever, we reiterate our call for the immediate release of Abdullah Öcalan.”
