==Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sanchez==
As per discussion above, I'll add Jordi Cuixart and Sanchez as political prisoners, since this is stated by some mainstream media and political parties and fits the definition. See references. Thanks! --] (]) 22:52, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

:And ] chose to remove them. According to the discussion on this page, those against their inclusion are basically arguing that because their gaolers do not consider them political prisoners, they are not. That is not mere lack of critical thought, questionable ethics and poor democratic culture: that is sheer stupidity. Anyway, even if they were not political prisoners the moment they were arrested, they bloody well are now that they are kept in remand defying all logic. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 12:36, 19 March 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

An agreement had already been reached as to their status, and that was even before the recent developments in Germany and Scotland. Nevertheless, certain users with Spanish sounding-handles or Spanish IPs insist on trying to remove their names surreptitiously. Why? Are those Misplaced Pages users as cowardly as those who govern them?

Re-add Abdullah "Apo" Öcalan to the list

On 13 November 2022, Misplaced Pages user Savy Wotton removed Abdullah Öcalan from the heading infobox, noting that "abdullah öcalan is not a political prisoner, is a terrorist". Later it was discovered that that account was a sockpuppet of user CarlostheJackal01. The investigation from 2022-2023 reveals multiple abuses of pages relating to highly politicized topics, including articles such as List of terrorist incidents in 1970, Falls Curfew, List of criminal enterprises, gangs, and syndicates, Corporate crime, and War crime, straying away from neutral language, and as FDW777 put it, "Usual focus on terrorism in Turkey related articles".

The webpage for Öcalan already had discussions about the legitimacy of referring to him as a political prisoner; see: Talk:Abdullah_Öcalan/Archive_2#Not_a_political_prisoner.

Major points from this previous discussion:

  • "...he is banned from holding a public office for life and engaged heavily in the peace process through his books and messages released from prison."
  • "The EU court ruled he did not receive a fair trial."
  • "Öcalan is seen by many independent sources as a political prisoner."
  • "...he's been referred to as a political prisoner by the Turkish govt itself."

Perhaps there may not be a need to re-add him to the infobox, as it appears clean now with only four characters, but I suggest that he is at least added to the article's list of individuals. 162.223.16.74 (talk) 20:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
