"From refugees to outlaws: Kurdish group banned
AUSTRALIAN Kurds are furious after the Federal Government pronounced the Kurdistan Workers Party a terrorist group, even though it was allowing sympathisers to become refugees as recently as last year.
The party, which has been running a long campaign for autonomy for Turkey's Kurdish minority, was listed as a proscribed terrorist group in mid-December, making it a criminal offence to recruit, train, fund or have 'other forms of association' with the group. A person found to have links with the party or 16 related entities faces a jail term of up to 25 years."
