Turkey: Victory of Revolutionary Prisoner Fikret Akar After 245 Days of Hunger Strike
After 245 days of hunger strike, political prisoner Fikret Akar has won his case: he has been transferred from the Çorlu-Karatepe high-security solitary confinement prison, a well-type prison, to the F-type prison No. 2 in Tekirdağ. This transfer is a new victory in the long-standing struggle of revolutionary prisoners against these prisons, which impose particularly inhumane conditions.
While his condition had recently worsened and he expressed a fear of being force-fed — saying he would rather die than undergo this procedure — his request was finally granted. This follows that of Serkan Onur Yılmaz, who suspended his hunger strike after 375 days. After these victories, attention now turns to Ayberk Demirdögen and other critically ill hunger strikers, while the call to end solitary confinement prisons remains central to these prisoners and their supporters.
