ISTANBUL: The leader of Turkey’s militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Abdullah Ocalan, has met his lawyers for the first time in eight years, one of them said on Monday.
“This is the first meeting with the lawyers since 2011. The meeting lasted approximately one hour,” on May 2, Rezan Sarica told an Istanbul press conference.
Some 3,000 Kurdish prisoners have been holding hunger strikes since November to protest his isolation, and eight have killed themselves over the issue, according to the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party.
