AFP/Istanbul
A mass trial opened in Turkey yesterday of over 200 people accused of links with outlawed Kurdish rebels, part of a wider crackdown against what Ankara considers “terrorists” and their supporters.
In all, 205 suspects – many of whom remain at large – are on trial accused of links with the Union of Kurdistan Communities (KCK), which the authorities say is the urban wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the Anatolia news agency reported.
