       Semdin Sakik, who is one of the most important leaders of the PKK feeds
       pigeons in Diyarbakir prison, like in the film of Burt Lancaster, Birdman of
       Alcatraz, which became a world classic of cinema.

       It has been stated that Sakik, who is kept in a seperate cell for security
       reasons feeds pigeons spacial for the South East region, as he trained them
       in the airing hole.

       Alcatraz is a small rocky island surrounded by the swift currents of
       California's San Francisco Bay. Now a National Park, Alcatraz has been the
       site of a military prison, and a federal prison. Living 54 years on that
       prison island Robert Strud fed birds and his life was made into a movie,
       starring Burt Lancaster, which became a world classic.
