Apo (Ocalan)
is the founder and despotic leader of PKK-- a Maoist, separatist, ethnic
terrorist organization. Ocalan--
for whom there is an outstanding Interpol warrant-- would be best described
as a professional terrorist who has perpetrated countless crimes against
humanity. An
organisation which has never been particularly sympathetic to Turkey's
plight, Human Rights Watch asserts
that those-- such as Ocalan-- believed to be responsible for crimes against
humanity are ineligible for asylum under international
law. The
body-language in Ocalan's video-clips, as well as stories of Ocalan's childhood
(as recounted by his immediate family (who still live peacefully in the
same village in Turkey where Ocalan was born), reveal a
psychopathic personality. Same goes for his
recorded and widely distributed speeches, during one of which,
"In my opinion, those in the throes of death
must be kicked also", says Ocalan. It is a fully documented fact
that Apo is a dictatorial personality with a deep spite/ hatred for
much that is Kurdish. Skeptics
are urged to refer to first hand reports such as the following account
and others that are available:
One of his one-time
lieutenants, Selim Curukkaya, wrote his memoirs (PKK-Die
Diktatur des Abdullah Ocalan)...
[Curukkaya] managed, with great difficulty, to get away, through Beirut.
Other defectors have not been so lucky...
