Brussels, November 13th 1997

Dear Friends,

We just heard about your hunger strike against the imprisonment of the
Kurdish deputies in Turkey (as for instance Leyla Zana).  We, the council
of the Kurdish Institute of Brussels, strongly sympathise with you and
hope that the American government will follow quickly your demand for the
liberation of the innocent Kurdish politicians.

We all wish you good luck and be sure that our hearts will always be with
you.

Sincerely Yours,
Derwich M. FERHO
Chairman
