Turkey sentenced Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan to death

25
years ago

29 June 1999,

Turkey sentenced Abdullah Öcalan to death. The death was subsequently modified by a life imprisonment sentence. The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the trial was not fair.

The PKK, leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, developed for Öcalan the theory of democratic confederalism, based on social ecology and libertarian municipality.

On the island of Imralá, an isolated prisoner has been held for more than two decades.
