We Condemn the kidnapping of the leader of the Kurdish Workers Party of Turkey (PKK)

On Tuesday February 16, 1999 Mr. Abdollah Ocalan the leader of PKK was kidnapped in a Nairobi, Kenya. The dictatorial government of Turkey that officially took all responsibility, has showed video of transferring Mr. Ocalan from Kenya to Turkey publicly.

The consequence of refusal of the European countreis to give political asylum to Mr. Ocalan and the pressure of the US government to handed him to Turkish authorities, was nothing but helping Turkish government to succeed in this shameful kidnapping. The Greek government, the last host of Mr. Ocalan, who claim it is a friend of Kurdish people, in one hand has made the trip of Mr. Ocalan to Kenya possible and on the other hand passed all information about him to CIA. The Israeli government that has closed political, military, and intelligence relation with Turkey along with CIA and the MIT (the security agency of Turkey) planed and executed this disgraceful Kidnapping.

While The US government supports and helps the Democratic Party of Kurdistan-Iraq and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan-Iraq, has never stopped its anti-kurdish policy in Turkey especially toward PKK which is the mean leader of Kurdish people in Turkey. The US government has always labeled the PKK as a terrorist group, while PKK activities are nothing but fighting for the basic rights of the Kurdish which have been denied by Turkish government totally.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe countries, the US government has played as a «world Gendarme». While the most of people around the world believe the Israeli government is a dictatorial and repressive government toward Palestine people, it has enjoyed of an unlimited support by the US government for its activities against the revolutionary forces around the world.

The organization of Iranian People Fedaii Guerrillas (OIPFG) condemn this shameful kidnapping by Turkish government and its allies ans call all revolutionary and progressive forces to protest Mr. Ocalan's Kidnapping and ask for his release without any condition.
