DİYARBAKIR - A statement was made about the meeting Öcalan and his attorneys have made regarding the hunger strikes. Deniz Kaya who made a statement on behalf of the prisoners, said the meeting was positive but, they will resist until the constitutional assurance is secured.
The statement about the reason the hunger strikes began was made by Deniz Kaya on behalf of the prisoners. Deniz Kaya said: "The government officials should know that if they want to livei n a country that want to live a life away from war and exploitation where people can live a democratic life , the address to secure it is Öcalan.Because our dignified and legitimate resistance brings victory, we will get back what is stolen from us with resistance and we will win. With that belief and that spirit we will resist."
Kaya who stated that AKP- MHP alliance is practising war policies to break the resistance and continue the isolation on Öcalan, said: "The main purpose behind allowing Öcalan’s brother to Imralı on 12 January is known to be to continue with the isolation and to break the resistance. After failing to achieve a result to this end, the Turkish regime has allowed a meeting with the lawyers of our Leader as part of its policies seeking to break the resistance."
Kaya who stated that the hunger strikes will contine, said: "We would like to state that the meeting held by two lawyers with our Leader on May 2nd is of great importance and value to us. However, such a meeting does not mean the end of the isolation. In essence, the meeting was held under the conditions of isolation. This is how we interpret this meeting process.Our resistance will continue until the demands we had declared before are met and put under legal assurance by the Ministry of Justice. It needs to be known that we will never give up or make concessions on our resistance under any circumstances until the isolation is removed.Our resistance will continue until the demands we had declared before are met and put under legal assurance by the Ministry of Justice. It needs to be known that we will never give up or make concessions on our resistance under any circumstances until the isolation is removed.We would like to state that the resistance of our families, especially of our mothers, who are giving voice to this sacred resistance outside, is being an incredible source of morale for us. Outside are resisting our mothers, inside their children. The scope of our resistance shouldn’t remain limited with us alone because the isolation is essentially imposed on the entire society. For this reason, we have no alternative but to resist.
It should be known that we are in great resolve as we continue our action with consciousness and without any hesitation. We will never give up on resistance until our demands are met.
We invite all our peoples, defenders of democracy, academics, writers and intellectuals to give voice to the resistance.”
