Ocalan.

       We all know that Turkey is ruled by a ruthless dictator with visions of a new Ottoman Empire and he doesn't tolerate any form of opposition to that grand illusion. One of those who has suffered for years in one of Turkey's prisons is Abdullal Ocalan, arrested and imprisoned 1999, still languishes in the iron grasp of blood dripping Tayyip Erdogan.
        The following is an appeal for Abdullah Ocalan to be freed from the clutches of Tayyip Erdogan's prison.

Freedom for Abdullah Ocalan.

 Dear friend,
         Kidnapped in Kenya in 1999, Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan has been jailed in Turkey ever since. Öcalan is the Kurdish Mandela: The parallels are striking. As the one leader who possesses the confidence of the Kurdish people, and as the advocate of a peaceful solution, Öcalan is indispensable to resolving the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. But he cannot fulfil this role from prison, due to the onerous conditions and the extremely restricted communication — he is at present entirely cut off from the outside world. To end this isolation is the first, urgent step. And it needs your support.
         Millions have been rallying for his freedom for many years now. Between 2013 and 2015, over 10 million people worldwide signed the demand to free him and start serious peace negotiations. We need you to add your voice too!
        Please endorse the sign-on statement. If you have already endorsed the statement perhaps you can encourage others to do the same.
         The campaign now has its own website and campaign news and activities will be posted there. You can contact us at info@freedomforocalan.org.au.
In solidarity,
