Güngör family who lives in Manisa/Akhisar said they started this hunger strike to draw attention to the isolation and to support their son.

	 

	Father Güngör said: "We had to do something. Everyone knows that isolation is a crime against humanity. When Yasin started the hunger strike he told me to make him heard all through aegean region, he told me to be his own voice. Yes, there actually is a struggle in prisons. So that made us understand that there are thousands of Leyla's in these lands. Me and my wife, we made a decision and started this hunger strike to be their voice, to end the isolation", while mother Güngör stated: "No person shall be condemned to live a life is isolation.Güven is in critical condition, and with the passing time this will expand to the other prisons. The demands must be met before someone dies. I thought I had to do something as a mother and as a woman.And this is what I will do."
