TURKEY, — It’s 140 days that the lawyers of Kurdish national leader Abdullah Ocalan have been barred from visiting their client who is the sole inmate in the remote Imrali Island prison.
Turkish government has refused the lawyers of Ocalan permission to visit their client for the last 140 days. Once again the prosecutor in Bursa said the visit was not possible as the ferry to Imrali is not working.
Most of the defense lawyers have been detained in the past weeks accused of being part of the KCK (Kurdish Communities Union), what prosecutors say is the ‘urban wing’ of the PKK.
