After 25 years in prison, Öcalan has become a leader for a new generation – a weekly news review

As we pass the 25th anniversary of Öcalan’s incarceration, this week’s review looks back on the events that led up to his abduction in an international plot, and at the reaction of the Kurdish Freedom Movement. It then returns to the present to discuss campaigns for Öcalan’s freedom, interference in Turkish electoral politics, Turkey’s latest environmental disaster, and events in other parts of Kurdistan.
