News Center- The employees and activists of BATZAC, an anti-capitalist and anarchist organization based in Catalonia has published a statement on their social media account, calling on all organizations to support the “Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan and a political solution to the Kurdish question” campaign.

‘Isolation is a form of torture’

The conditions of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan in the prison island of Imrali are unsustainable, said the statement. “Isolation is a form of torture,” BATZAC said, criticizing the silence of the international authorities against Türkiye, “Their silence shows that they are a party to this crime. In the prison island of Imrali, an aggravated isolation has been imposed on Abdullah Öcalan, who was sentenced to life imprisonment. For three years, he has been denied family and lawyer visits.”
