 The case of Kenan was first made public by the Kurds' own struggles and by reports in some media. During its course it was framed by various political parties, and especially after Kenan's hunger strike the case gained a lot of traction in Cyprus. All major media had reports and the government was prompted to make statements. This turn of events was not at all a foregone course and we believe that the mobilisations, not only from the anti-authoritarian and extra-parliamentary left - i.e. the political space where we operate - but from the people in solidarity with Kenan as a whole, was an important reason why the "Kenan case" took such a big dimension. The case of Kenan was first made public by the Kurds' own struggles and by reports in some media.
