ANKARA - Stating that the Kurdish people's interlocutors were ignored and the country is drafted into darkness, HDP MP Tülay Hatimoğulları called out: "Meeting of Öcalan with his lawyers and family should take place as soon as possible."
 
Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) MPs marched towards the Ministry of Justice demanding that PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who has been held in heavy isolation in Imrali Type F Prison and has not been heard from for more than 21 months, be allowed to meet with their lawyers. HDP MPs Tülay Hatimoğulları, Erdal Aydemir, Ayşe Sürücü, Celadet Gaydalı, Şevin Coşkun, Hasan Özgüneş, Abdullah Koç, Hüseyin Kaçmaz, Mehmet Rüştü Tiryaki and Kemal Bülbül carried banners with the words "The law should be applied in İmralı" and "Isolation is a crime against humanity".
 
ISOLATION HAS BECOME A MANAGEMENT MODEL 
 
The demonstration of the MPs, who were blocked by the police at the Dikmen Gate of the Parliament, was prevented. Making a statement here, HDP Adana MP Tülay Hatimoğulları said: "The Imralı isolation system has become a management model. People of Turkey, we, the Peoples' Democratic Party MPs, started a sit-in on December 21. We started this sit-in at the request of our peoples because there was no news of the prisoners who were with Mr. Öcalan, who had not been heard from for more than 21 months because we were suspicious of the health of the people there, because the Kurdish people were worried about the health of Mr. Öcalan and those around him. Now isolation has become a management model. Since the July 15 military coup attempt, we are now facing isolation in every aspect of our lives. Women are wanted to be isolated from public spaces, against those who struggle for ecology, those who donate nature, stone, land to capital and capitalism, again apply isolation. Imagine that youth is isolated from science nests, academics are isolated from science nests. Politicians want to be isolated from doing politics with July 15. The 'right to hope' is a right deemed appropriate by the ECtHR and the conventions we are a party to for all people sentenced to aggravated life or life imprisonment in prisons. Based on the 'right to hope', we want the isolation imposed on Imrali, especially Mr. Öcalan, to be lifted and meetings with their lawyers and families, which is a constitutional right, take place as soon as possible. We will continue this sit-in despite the obstacles until these demands are met."
