” ‘Peace is more difficult than war. We were not scared as we resisted; we will not be scared when we make peace.’ – Abdulla[h] Öcalan, PKK (Kurdistan Worker[s’] Party), a revolutionary, a prisoner in solitary confinement since Feb 1999. Sign the petition http://www.freeocalan.org “
Öcalan was arrested in Kenya, after being shuttled around by various European countries (Italy, Russia, Greece) who did not want to extradite him but did not want to give him asylum; he was trying to get to the Hague to confront the charges of terrorism with which he was charged. He has changed from advocating violence to advocating a political solution to the Kurdish situation in Turkey. (WP)
