Posted by Jason Toney on
Every year since his incarceration a peace delegation has visited Turkey to demand access to Öcalan on his island prison Imrali. This year the biggest international peace delegation to date, organized by the International initiative, Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, Peace in Kurdistan, British trade unions and Peace in Kurdistan, has just completed a two day virtual fact-finding mission in Turkey assessing the ongoing 23 year aggravated solitary confinement of Abdullah Öcalan, recognized leader of the Kurdish people.
