SINN Fein sent a message of solidarity to hundreds of Kurdish hunger strikers on the 185th day of their protest over the treatment of jailed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan today.
The party’s foreign affairs and defence spokesman John Brady urged the Turkish government to meet the demands of the six-month-long hunger strike which has seen rolling action in hundreds of prisons.
The hunger strikes started in November 2020 on the anniversary of the foundation of the PKK.
