At this historic moment, Abdullah Öcalan is demonstrating his clarity of thought and his ability to offer solutions. The ideas in the new paradigm are now shaping the world political agenda and are more relevant than ever. With this in mind, we are launching the third edition of the Global Öcalan Book Days on 4 April 2025.
On Öcalan’s birthday, we invite you to share an Öcalan’s book with a comrade, friends or family member. Read a paragraph together, share your favourite quotes, organise and participate in the activities and events of the day. Be an active part of spreading the ideas! Give away a book of Öcalan!
The political philosophy of Abdullah Öcalan serves as a source of inspiration for movements, organisations and activists seeking a new perspective on democratic socialism worldwide. This initiative aims to disseminate his works and unite different collectives and campaigns. This day and action proposal are dedicated to discussing and sharing Öcalan’s writings in order to strengthen our commitment for his liberation and the political solution for Kurdistan.
Previous editions of this campaign have successfully organised hundreds of events in more than 40 countries, making a strong statement against Ocalan’s isolation. Progress has been made and new phases have been opened through struggle, resistance and pressure. It is a crucial time to amplify his political thought. Ocalan’s philosophy, rooted in the Kurdish freedom movement, emphasises deep democratisation and the dissolution of oppressive relations and offers a revolutionary way forward.
As we face this historical moment of great challenges and opportunities, we call on all activists, from students to workers, especially women and youth, academics, trade unions, organisations, ecological activists and all those committed to social justice to join us in this action. By strengthening solidarity and deepening our understanding of the paradigm of democratic modernity, we can work together towards a future where Öcalan’s ideas inspire political practice worldwide.
Until his physical freedom is achieved, we remain committed to spreading his vision and ensuring that his voice continues to resonate globally.
Share a book, come together to share the ideas, Free Öcalan! #Freedom4Öcalan #PoliticalSolution4Kurdistan
