Social media circulated unconfirmed reports about the death of the Kurdistan Workers' Party leader, Abdullah Öcalan, who is imprisoned in Turkey, due to a heart attack at Imrali Prison. However, there is no evidence or credible reports confirming the accuracy of this news. Öcalan has been detained since 1999 after being convicted of treason and separatism. He is the founder of an armed faction that rebelled against Turkey starting in the 1980s, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands. Human rights organizations have criticized his detention conditions, but in recent years, Öcalan has issued calls for dialogue. According to reports, the Kurdistan Workers' Party announced its dissolution and cessation of armed resistance. Öcalan's name re-emerged in August 2026 when he denied via a written message the claims and threats attributed to him, in an attempt to de-escalate tensions or for political targeting.
