On December 30, the chief prosecutor of the Court of Appeal in Ankara rejected the appeal presented by Ocalan's lawyers for a retrial, confirming the Kurd leader's death sentence. Ocalan's fate therefore rests on the decision of the Turkish Parliament that must approve the death penalty. Meanwhile, his lawyers have prepared an appeal for submission to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
