The Melbourne-based Australians for Kurdistan committee has launched a
campaign calling for the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to be removed
from the Australian government’s list of terrorist organisations.
The PKK was first listed in 2005; its listing comes up for review this
August.
In the light of the frontline role the PKK has played in fighting the
“Islamic State” killers in Syria and Iraq and in mobilising support
within Turkey for Rojava (the Kurdish-majority liberated zone in
northern Syria), to label the PKK as “terrorist” is simply ridiculous.
The ban should be dropped and supporters of the PKK should be able to
openly organise without harassment from the authorities.
