The International Initiative “Freedom-for-Abdullah Ocalan - Peace in Kurdistan”

The International Initiative conceives itself as a multi-national peace initiative working for a civil solution of the Kurdish question with Kurds and Turks peacefully living together.
Even after his imprisonment until today Abdullah Ocalan is regarded as the undisputed leader by a large proportion of the Kurdish community. A solution of the Kurdish question in Turkey, therefore, will always be closely attached to his fate. Many Kurds see him as a safeguard for peace and democratisation. Therefore, the Ocalan case itself needs a conceivable perspective for a solution. By continuous lobbying and dedicated public relations the International Initiative endeavours to contribute to this. Regular publication of papers, articles, bulletins, and books based on a balanced and unbiased policy are constant components of its work.
