PKK denies arrest of member

The military wing of the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) denied Turkish security information which said one of the party's members who was said to be planing to kill the head of the state security court that sentenced PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan to death was detained.

This came in a press statement issued by the PKK's military wing, which described this information as aiming to cast doubt on the stances of the PKK, which aim at achieving peace between the Turkish government and the Kurds.

Meanwhile, members of the Kurdish party resumed their withdrawal from southeastern Turkey according to instructions given by Ocalan, as Kurdish sources said that the withdrawal will take place at the end of October at a time when the Turkish government resumes its endeavors to issue a new law aimed at pardoning PKK members who surrender and supply important information about the party's activities

This law has not achieved its goals two previous times.
