31 women have been arrested for taking part in an illegal march to protest what they say are the dangerous health conditions of former PKK head Abdullah Ocalan, who is serving a life sentence on the Marmara Sea island of Imrali.
The women were arrested in the town of Cizre outside of the southeastern city of Sirnak, a largely Kurdish area. Shouting slogans in support of Ocalan, the women had gathered March 6 in Cizre to protest what they claim is the poisoning efforts against the man nicknamed "Apo." Entering the local Democratic Society Party building in Cizre, the women were then arrested by Anti-Terrorism teams of security forces, and charged with "shouting slogans and carrying posters and banners in a protest that did not have authority to take place."
