PROMINENT Palestinian revolutionary Leila Khaled has sent a letter to jailed Kurdish MP Leyla Guven in support of her hunger strike, which entered its 70th day today.

Ms Khaled, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, highlights Ms Guven’s courage and determination, affirming: “The harder the hunger strike, the more honourable the struggle.” 

Ms Guven, People’s Democratic Party (HDP) MP for Hakkari, has been on hunger strike for the past 70 days in demand for the end to the isolated imprisonment of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan.
