To even think of such a claim is ludicrous. She, like many other Kurdish youngsters and their families, could be a sympathizer. To argue that a member of the PKK or its high level official is tantamount to a crime against humanity is an absurd proposition. That is because, other than the Turkish government, neither a state nor a court of law has ever made such an allegation to date. To even consider this young girl for these accusations is a blight on the values that we hold as members of the human family.
Kurdish refugees do go to the far corners of the world and some are caught in the process.
But, in none of the countries where they have looked for refugee status has the host government sought to affiliate them with being a member of a particular party or a nation in terms of their reception into that country. Even if she, as an individual, were to be found guilty of some wrongdoing, the people she comes from could never be put on trial with her. Let us, since it seems to warrant, make ourselves clear. We are a national liberation movement. We are on record to abide by the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their relevant sections that proscribe the rules of war.
