Urgent Call to Amnesty International to Take Action Concerning the Ongoing Isolation of Kurdish Leader Abdullah Öcalan

Dear Friends

We urge Amnesty International to investigate the appalling conditions of Abdallah Öcalan’s incarceration. The Turkish regime has breached all legal standards on political prisoners, including the UN Mandela Rules on the treatment of political prisoners and has disregarded its own laws on the treatment of prisoners. Since March 25, 2021, Mr Öcalan has been held incommunicado in detention. This is cruel, degrading and inhumane treatment. We call on Amnesty International to consider the conditions of imprisonment Mr Öcalan urgently.
