The emphasis on isolation came to the fore at the Women’s Festival

 

On the other hand, the actions have been supported by large masses since the day they started. While the families of the prisoners embraced the demands of their children, the emphasis was placed on isolation on the last day of the Women’s, Nature, Culture and Art Festival, which was held under the leading of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Women’s Council in Van, and demanded that the prisoners’ demands be met as soon as possible. The message was also given at the festival that the struggle will be enlarged until the isolation is lifted and Abdullah Öcalan regains his physical freedom.
