HUNGER strikes in protest at the continued isolation of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan are expected to continue despite his first prison visit in more than two years on Saturday.
Turkish authorities granted permission for Mr Ocalan’s brother Memed to visit him in his Imrali island prison cell on Saturday where he has been held prisoner since 1999.
He was said to be in good health, however further details of the meeting, the first since 2016, have yet to be made public. Lawyers have not been able to meet with Mr Ocalan since 2011, despite 768 requests.
