Leader of the Kurdish liberation struggle Abdullah Ocalan
LAWYERS for jailed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan demanded urgent access to him yesterday after rumours of his death in Turkey circulated on social media.
The Asrin Law Office insisted that the only way to find out the truth was to be able to communicate with him.
In a statement, it said that it takes such claims very seriously, adding that it had not been able to meet Mr Ocalan for a long time.
