The members of Pir Sultan Abdal Culture Association (PSAKD) in Sarıyer have begun a daily rotating hunger strike for Fadik. Her neighbors and comrades said, "We don't want Fadik to die."

One of the PSAKD administrators Songül Çimen said, "We learned from lawyers of Fadik that Fadik's health condition has been getting worse and she has fainted suddenly due to thyroid. Her health condition can be worse every moment. We couldn't remain insensitive when we heard that. Fadik is our neighbor. We don't want to say "What did we do when our neighbor died?"We don't want our friend die. The state can accept her demands. Her demands must be accepted right away."

Fadik Adıyaman's friend Şeften Boybay, meanwhile, said, "Fadik is called as "Plateau sister" in her neighborhood. When we talk about the resistances of Küçükarmutlu, the first the name of come to mind is Fadik. Fadik tried to solve the problems in the neighborhood. Plateau is my friend and my neighbor. We have begun hunger strike for her. We support her. Don't let Plateau die."
