PKK Sympathizers Sentenced In Berlin

Two Kurdish sympathizers of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were
setenced on Friday, December 20 for an attempted arson attack on a
Turkish travel agency in Berlin, Germany. Although no one was injured in
the attack, which caused no damage, the two were sentenced to 3 years
and 2 years and 3 months in prison respectively. According to the daily
paper Taz, the court ruled that the action was part of a 1993
"Europe-wide series of revenge attacks" carried out by the PKK on
Turkish targets in Europe. PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan recently told the
German weekly Der Spiegel that he had ordered an end to violence in
Germany - but Germany's violence against the Kurds has continued or even
increased in recent months. These two Kurdish comrades will now join
dozens of other Kurdish political prisoners languishing in German
prisons.
