German activists will go on a hunger strike in Berlin in solidarity with the hunger strikes to end to the isolation imposed on the leader of the Kurdish people Abdullah Ocalan.

A group of German activists has decided to support the hunger strikes led by the parliamentarian Leyla Guven demanding an end to the isolation imposed upon Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Ocalan.

The hunger strike will kick off today in the Heinrichplatz square in the Kreuzberg district, and continue until April 15. The activists issued a statement on their social media account, @HungerstreikB, and called on all to support their protest.

The call pointed to the aggravated isolation imposed upon Ocalan by the Turkish state in the Imrali prison and the hunger strike against it by Leyla Guven and 7.000 prisoners as well as activists throughout the world: “We support the demand to end the isolation imposed upon Ocalan and we believe the German media’s censorship against this resistance will end with our resistance.”

The statement issued in the name of the Berlin Resistance Committee said the isolation can be ended through a joint struggle and added that all who call themselves revolutionaries or democrats should take action. The committee also said there will be various events in the square the activists continue their hunger strike in on Saturday and Sunday from 16:00 onwards.
