As prisoners, we are a country whose racist, discriminatory and fascist features are highly exposed, and when it comes to the Kurdish reality, they do not even recognize their own laws.

Starting from April 4, we will launch our 'Freedom for Leader Apo, Democratic Solution to the Kurdish Issue' move with the motto of 'Living under the same conditions as our Leader'.
