More details from petition creator

The Kurdish Question remains unsolved and denied by the Turkish authorities despite unofficial international recognition of the Kurdish Freedom Struggle in Turkey as a legitimate struggle of an oppressed people for basic human and political rights.

It is long past the time for an official recognition of the Kurds long and painful struggle for freedom and equality.

Abdullah Ocalan has been calling for a peaceful and political solution to the Kurdish Question in Turkey for many years and his release would open the door for dialogue and settlement.
