As of March, nearly 7,000 HDP members including prisoners joined Güven to protest Öcalan’s “isolation,” with some inmates even committing suicide to draw attention to the hunger strikes.
The families of inmates on hunger strikes have been trying to raise awareness of the situation by means of sit-ins and small demonstrations.
