GIVE VEGAN FOOD TO OSMAN EVCAN IMMEDIATELY!
ALL PRISONS WILL BE ABOLISHED!
FREEDOM FOR VEGAN ANARCHIST OSMAN EVCAN!
 
WHO IS OSMAN EVCAN
Evcan
is a political prisoner in Turkey kept in high securit...
y solitary
confinement prison. Due to his anarchist political and ethical
convictions, Evcan became a vegan (strict vegetarian who avoids all
animal products) eight years ago.
 
Since the Turkish authorities do not respect his right to pursue a
vegan diet, Evcan has been suffering from variety of health issues as he
is not getting enough vegan food to eat and he is unable to pursue a
balanced diet.
 
In a letter he wrote from prison, Evcan mentions prison authorities
giving him food in an unhygienic state and there have been instances
where harmful additives and chemicals have been intentionally added to
his food.
 
In his last letter on the 6th of November 2011, Evcan added that on
an arbitrary basis, prison officers have not being providing him with
escorts, so that he misses medical appointments. Having already
boycotted the prison food and managing by purchasing his own food at
prison cafeteria, he says in his last letter that he needs to strengthen
his attitude to be heard. Therefore he started an on-going hunger
strike on 4 November 2011 for an indefinite time until his demands are
met.
 
Write to him [do not expect a reply though!]:
