Dr. Amber Huff: The isolation of Öcalan should end immediately

Dr. Amber Huff said in an interview with Eren Kansoy that “the isolation of Abdullah Öcalan should end immediately.”

Dr. Huff said that the conditions in which Abdullah Öcalan is held are “appalling and illegal. He should be given immediate access to lawyers and family.”

She added that “continuing the detention of Öcalan and continuing to keep the PKK on the list of terrorist organizations are two faces of the same coin. It is important to address both issues, not just to solve the Kurdish issue, but also to help solve the other problems in the region. He continues to be a powerful voice and a symbol for dialogue.”

Dr Amber Huff is Senior Researcher at Sussex and Oxford university and social anthropologist.

The interview was prepared with the support of the Freedom for Ocalan Campaign and the Peace in Kurdistan campaign in collaboration with Medya Haber TV and Sterk TV.
