ISTANBUL - PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan's attorneys applied to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to interview with their clients.

 

PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan's attorneys Raziye Öztürk, Rezan Sarıca, Faik Özgür Erol and Cengiz Yürekli applied to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office with a request to interview with their clients.

 

Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office imposed a six-month attorney visitation ban on September 23, 2020, on the grounds of the "Road Map" prepared in addition to Abdullah Öcalan's defense sent to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in 2009. Although the interview ban ended on March 23, neither positive nor negative response is given to the applications made by the attorneys.

 

The attorneys of Abdullah Öcalan were able to interview their clients after eight years on 2-22 May, 12-18 June, and August 7, 2019.

 

The conversation was interrupted 

 

Abdullah Öcalan, who has been kept under isolation conditions in İmralı High-Security F-Type Closed Prison for 22 years, first benefited from the telephone visitation right on April 27, 2020. While the isolation policy imposed on Abdullah Öcalan was continuing, he had a phone conversation with his brother Mehmet Öcalan on March 25 due to the growing public concerns due to some posts on social media, but Mehmet Öcalan announced that this conversation was interrupted.
