Leyla Guven and her daughter Sabiha Temizkan at home
KURDISH MP Leyla Guven’s protest hunger strike is set to continue despite her release from Diyarbakir prison today after almost a year behind bars.
Ms Guven’s release was widely celebrated after a huge outpouring of international solidarity for the Peoples’ Democratic MP for Hakkari, who started her hunger strike on November 8 in protest against the continued isolation of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan.
The charges against her for making statements opposing Turkey’s illegal war and occupation of Afrin in northern Syria remain.
