	In this context, 39 names including journalists, writers, academics, trade unionists, parliamentarians and lawyers will hold meetings between 1-2 July. On 1 July, the delegation will meet with Asrin Law Office, the lawyer of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan.

	 

	On the same day, the delegation will visit the Istanbul provincial organisation of the Peoples' Equality and Democracy (DEM) Party and then meet with party's Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan.
