Ocalan’s Last Command: Follow the Kemalist Tradition

In the meeting on April 30 2003, at which his brother Mehmet Ocalan was also present, it was stated how the organization should act. Ocalan said, ‘I neither say die for me, nor do I say do not protest for me’. He appealed against the decision to have visiting times for his attorneys reduced to 45 minutes and 15 minutes for his relatives, saying that unless the practice changed, he would no longer meet with anyone.
