More information abouth kurdish-Turkey conflict: Wikipedia link abouth the conflict
Yesterday in Bilbo (Bizkaia south basque country), dozens of people supported kurdish struggle. Abertzale left have also issued a statement, here the translation:
"Since the beginning of September dozens of prisoners have progressively joint the hunger streak asking for three clear demands:
- Right to study, communicate and legal defence in their mother tongue
- Stop the isolation of Mr Ocalan
- Create conditions for dialogue and negotiations.
We consider that the Turkish authorities should immediately put an
end to all human right violations against Kurdish political prisoners.
They should recognize the national rights of the Kurdish people and
therefore respect their linguistic rights inside and outside prisons.
The position of the Turkish government goes against any democratic
international standards and obstructs clearly a democratic and peaceful
resolution of the ongoing conflict in Kurdistan. In that sense, the
isolation of Mr Ocalan has to end urgently and a real process of
dialogue and negotiation has to start with the legitimate
representatives of the Kurdish people.
Security measures against prisoners and violation of fundamental
rights are unacceptable and they just will prolong the ongoing conflict.
We call upon the EU and all international authorities to urge the
Turkish state to fulfil democratic principles and respect Kurdish people
rights.
We ask the Basque society to show its solidarity with the Kurdish political prisoners and the Kurdish national movement.
It is time for peace and dialogue!
Freedom for Kurdistan!
Biji Kurdistan!!"
