ÖCALAN FAMILY TO GO TO IMRALI TODAY

14 January 2013 – ANF – Öcalan’s brother and families of two other PKK inmates will go to Imralı today.  Families of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan and two PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) members jailed in the same prison will visit Imralı today.

Öcalan’s brother Mehmet, Bayram Kaymaz’s mother Medine Kaymaz and Cumali Karsu’s sister Pervin Oduncu are waiting at the Gendarmerie Company Command in Gemlik to go to the island following the fulfillment of necessary procedures.  On the other hand, Öcalan’s lawyers are expected to make an application tomorrow for a meeting with the Kurdish leader on Wednesday. Öcalan has been denied contact with his lawyers since 27 July 2011 on the grounds of “adverse weather conditions” and “defective coaster”.
