NEWS CENTER - Hundreds of lawyers around the world have applied to the Ministry of Justice, requesting a meeting with PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan.
 
There has been no news for 18 months from PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who has been held under heavy isolation conditions in İmralı Type F High Security Prison. Applications made by Abdullah Öcalan's family and lawyers are either rejected or left unanswered on the grounds of "disciplinary" penalties. Hundreds of lawyers from 22 countries applied to the Ministry of Justice to meet with Abdullah Öcalan and other prisoners on İmralı Island, Ömer Hayri Konar, Veysi Aktaş and Hamili Yıldırım. Lawyers will hold a press conference tomorrow (September 14) in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, regarding their application.
 
LETTER TO THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
 
According to the Fırat News Agency (ANF), hundreds of lawyers gathered around the world made an application with a letter they sent to the Ministry of Justice. Describing the isolation in Imrali Prison as a "special situation", the lawyers regarded the restriction on Abdullah Öcalan's right to be visited as a form of discriminatory isolation.
 
MANDELA OF THE KURDS
 
Defining Abdullah Öcalan as the Mandela of the Kurds, the lawyers will make a statement regarding their demands at the Brussels European Press Club at Rue Froissart 95, 1000 Bruxelles. In the press release in which Georges Henri Beauthier from Paris and Brussels Bar Association, Lawyers for Democracy Chair Hélène Debaty, Selma Benkhelifa from Brussels Progress Lawyers Network and European Union of Lawyers Co-chair Thomas Schmidt will take place as the speakers, many law organisations expected to participate.
