What is happening

What the sources report

The imprisoned PKK leader, Abdullah Ocalan, was transferred to a new building within the prison complex on the island of Imrali, where he has been held since 1999.[1]

The transfer was confirmed by DEM MP Mithat Sancar.[1]

As he said, changing the detention conditions should be accompanied by an acceleration of the peace process, which, in his view, has been frozen for the last two months.[1]

DEM MP Pervin Buldan clarified that the transfer does not entail a change in his detention status.[1]

Zafer Party leader Ümit Özdağ stated that Ocalan is no longer a convicted prisoner but a "liberated terrorist living in his private villa".[2]

Where they differ

Newsbeast and in.gr write that Ocalan was moved to a 250-square-metre residence and to a 250-square-metre villa, while Euronews Greek reports a new site prepared for him, without the square metres.[3][4][2]

Newsbomb writes that the residence of about 250 square metres was mentioned in an earlier statement by Devlet Bahçeli, and that he rejected the description "villa".[1]
