Two years ago, an international campaign calling for the release of Abdullah Öcalan and a political solution for the kurdish question started. Over the course of two years, thousands of actions — rallies, readings, concerts, art, videos, and delegations — have echoed the call.
For the anniversary of the campaign and to demand once again the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan, dozens of actions were organised around the world. Throughout actions organised, the message remained consistent: we want to visit Öcalan, we demand his freedom, his ideas on a democratic modernity are an inspiration for struggles around the world. At the same time, they drew attention to current global crises, and the need to build an alternative grounded in principles women’s liberation, ecology, and the democratic organisation of societies.
The struggle continues! Now more than ever, it is crucial we come together, in demanding the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan, and a political solution to the Kurdish Question.
