ŞIRNEX - Ill prisoner Önder Poyraz informed his family that he continued the hunger strike demanding "freedom for Abdullah Öcalan'', which he started in the hospital, in the cell.
 
Önder Poyraz, who was arrested after being detained injured during the curfew declared on December 14, 2015 in the Cizîr (Cizre) district of Şirnex(Şırnak), was sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment twice on the allegations of "being a member of an organization" and "disrupting the unity and integrity of the state". Poyraz, who is held in Erzurum Dumlu High Security Prison No. 2, lives with a platinum on his back due to the bullet that hit his body in 2015. Poyraz has only one kidney and cannot use his right hand due to the stroke he suffered. Poyraz, who is on the ill prisoner list, recently underwent surgery because his neck was flattened, and he was then sent back to prison.
 
Poyraz, who is currently held in solitary confinement, stated that PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan went on a hunger strike in prisons on November 27 for his physical freedom and the solution of the Kurdish issue. In his phone call with his family, Poyraz said that he continued the protest he started in the hospital cell.
 
Drawing attention that she was not aware that her husband was hospitalized, Poyraz's wife, Firdevs Poyraz said: "His friends called us and told us that Önder had been hospitalized and that they had not heard from him. Then we called the hospital administration. They said that they had taken him to the hospital and that he would have surgery. The last time I talked to Önder, he said to me that 'I am on hunger strike and I am no different from my friends who are on hunger strike. We will continue until the isolation on Mr. Öcalan ends. I did not hear from him afterwards."
 
Poyraz said: "He cannot be held in a cell and meet his needs. Our only request is that their demands should be met as soon as possible and the ill prisoners should be released. Everyone should support their demands and hear their voices."
