Around 500 people gathered in Cologne, Saturday, to demand freedom for the Kurdish leader and founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) Abdullah Ocalan.
The protesters moved from Ebertplatz to Neumarkt chanting slogans against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as well as chanting pro-Kurdistan slogans.
Abdullah Ocalan was arrested in 1999 by Turkish security forces in Nairobi, Kenya. He was taken to Turkey where he was sentenced to death for treason and separatism. The sentence was later changed to life imprisonment following Turkey's abolishment of the death penalty to meet criteria for European Union entry.
