To: Minister of Justice of the Republic of Turkey, Yılmaz Tunç
Representative of the Republic of Turkey in Argentina, Ambassador Süleyman Ömür Budak
From the Republic of Argentina, we join personalities, individuals, and organizations from our country and around the world to express our support for the international humanitarian initiative to visit Abdullah Öcalan and other political prisoners on the prison-island of Imrali. At the same time, we join the demand for the recognition of the rights and freedom of all political prisoners in Turkey and the call for respect for democratic rights, against the repression being carried out against strikes and demonstrations opposing the government. We demand an end to the persecution and repression of the Kurdish people and respect for their political and self-determination rights.
