Turkey: Family threatened for protesting PKK terror group

By terrorism watch -
A family among many others, who stage sit-in protests in front of provincial office of a opposition political party in southeastern Turkey to save their children from hands of a terror group, claimed that they have been threatened by three members of the party’s youth branch.
A number of families take part in the protest since a mother, Fevziye Cetinkaya, claimed her 17-year-old son had joined the ranks of the terror group through members of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) -- long accused by the government of having links to the PKK terror group -- in Diyarbakir province and started the protest on Sept. 3.
Father Mustafa Bicer said that they were threatened by three people a with long-barreled gun who claimed to be with HDP’s youth branch in Baglar district.
“They threatened us to end the sit-in protest in front of the provincial office of the HDP,” Bicer said, adding that they were threatened with death if they continued their protest.
Bicer noted that they will not step back and added: “We want our children back.”
He said that the members of the youth branch were also being deceived, and called on them to “wake up” to the reality.
“These threats are done under order of the HDP members. They are using our own children against us,” he said.
Bicer said that efforts were underway to capture the individuals after security forces were informed about the incident.
Last month, another mother, Hacire Akar, staged a similar protest near the party's office. Her son returned home a few days later giving hope to a number of mothers who suffer the same circumstances.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined. The Spanish inquisition ( Tri...

Kabul: Five members of the US-led international military coalition were killed on Saturday by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, the latest deadly attack against foreign troops since the Taliban announced the start of their spring offensive this week.

Karzai had earlier confirmed that his government had received such payments following a story published in The New York Times that said the CIA had given the Afghan National Security Council tens of millions of dollars in monthly payments delivered in suitcases, backpacks and plastic shopping bags.
