THEY COULDN'T VISIT HIM FOR 6 MONTHS
 
Tekek family who lives in Siirt, is not able to visit their son in Ordu Type E Prison  the last 6 months  because of financial difficulties. 
 
Father Abdullah Tekek (66) who stated that they are not allowed to touch or hold their son during the visit, said the hunger strike of his son and the other prisoners should be supported more. 
 
Father Tekek said: "Kurdish community must fight not to let these people die. The government will not take action until we do." Father Tekek who emphasized that the Ministry of Justice should hear their voice and meet the demands, said: "The isolation on the Kurdish people and their leader must be removed."
 
'IF THERE WERE PEACE..'
 
Father Tekek who stated that their only wish is peace and harmony, said: "The leader wants peace. Those conditions were fulfilled for a while and then they were destroyed. Everone knows that. If there were peace, thousands of people would not be on hunger strike now. Because so many lives are at stake, the government must meet the demands."
