While the Turkish state continues with air bombings in Southern Kurdistan and ground and air attacks in Northern Kurdistan against the Kurdish guerrilla forces and carries out mass arrest and imprisonments against the democratic organisations of the Kurdish people, one of the most important links of the chain of liquidation is still the total isolation on the Kurdish national leader Ocalan.{divide}
Since July 27, no visit of lawyers and relatives of Ocalan was allowed. The lawyers were once more hindered to visit Ocalan on September 8 again under that pretext of an alleged technical problem in the coaster that would carry the Lawyers to Ocalan's prison in the Imrali Island.
Ocalan, the leader of a movement which actively includes millions of Kurdish people, actually carries the status of a "forced disappeared" according to all the international laws.
