NORTH KURDISTAN, — In the 12th anniversary of the illegal and immoral abduction of Kurdish national leader Ocalan in 15th February 1999, two Kurds set fires on their bodies.
A Kurdish 17 year old teenager Mustafa Malchok set fire on his body in Diyarbakir and died on the spot, report said on Tuesday.
Following Mustafa’s self-immolation, a Kurdish political prisoner Murat Aktash who was held in Medyad prison, set fire on his body to protest the crime committed against both Ocalan and the Kurdish people.
