A special highlight will be the interactive theater performance "7 acts against humanity - the Odyssey Abdullah Öcalans" on October 9, 2024. This piece will take the audience on a dramatic journey through the political history of Öcalan and call for mobilization for his freedom. It illuminates the complex historical circumstances that led to Öcalan's capture and linked global political crises of the 1990s, such as the elevation of Bill Clinton and the Kosovo conflict.

A flyer campaign was also organized by the left -wing scene on Wednesday. Activist: Interior informed intensively about Öcalan's philosophy and the need for his release. "End with 25 years of isolation, torture and rightlessness" it was said in the conversations. The flyers, which were distributed in this campaign, also promoted the global days of action from October 1 to 10, 2024, the goal of ending Öcalans and enabling a democratic solution for the Kurdish question.

The urgency of these demands was underlined by the lack of any contact to Öcalan in the past three years, since the Turkish government hindered all efforts to clarify its condition.

variety of actions

Another remarkable event took place on Thursday at Maschsee. Activist: Balloons distributed to children and flyers for the democratic nation to adults. The message of the campaign was clear: the ideas of Öcalans, which are formulated in his work "Manifesto of Democratic Civilization", offer perspectives for an alternative living together and that from the vision of the "democratic nation". Here democracy is not only regarded as a form of government, but as a binding element of society, which is based on freedom and diversity of individuals.
