ISTANBUL, Turkey, — After the police raid of the office of Ocalan’s lawyers in Istanbul, which led to the capture of 33 lawyers, sixteen lawyers have applied to the Century Law Office to defend the Kurdish national leader, Mr Abdullah Ocalan.
The lawyers asked for permission to defend Ocalan and said that the capture of their colleagues is an attack against the right to defense.
In the meantime lawyers have once again asked for permission to visit their client, who has been forbidden visit with his lawyers since 27 July.
