ANKARA - TDN with AFP
Jailed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan is in good condition and reports that he suffered a heart attack in prison are not true, Turkish officials said on Thursday.
Öcalan, 57, who launched a bloody campaign in southeastern Turkey in 1984, was sentenced to death in 1999 for treason, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in 2002 after Turkey abolished capital punishment as part of efforts to align with European Union democracy norms."
