For many weeks, six revolutionary prisoners have been on hunger strike in Turkey to denounce “well” type prisons. They are based on a very strict solitary confinement regime and harsh prison conditions for prisoners. They owe their name to the fact that the windows, tightly grilled, look out onto a walled space, and the short daily walk is in a narrow space surrounded by high walls. On July 14, many initiatives of solidarity with these prisoners were organized in Greece, Holland, France and Belgium.
