Mark Zuckerberg's repudiation of Covid-era censorship is welcome. But it's not enough, say Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker. Without a public reckoning they will just do it all again when a cause seems urgent enough.

PKK (Kurdistan) is off the European Terrorist Organisation List.

category international | eu | other press author Friday April 04, 2008 00:56author by tolerant to a point of tactical appreciation Report this post to the editors

The PKK were included in 2002 on the list of terrorist organisations held by the EU. It's a long list. But the decision has now been anulled by the second highest judicial bench in Europe which sits in Luxembourg.

There are complex (as always) reasons for this. Without going into it too much, & thus distracting you from reading the judgement in its entirety, I'd just mention the non-desirability of seeing a post-US occupied Iraq divided between Turkey and Iran after the former argued they were containing the PKK terrorists.

I told you this would happen before of course back in mid 2006. Which of course was when it was seen desirable to take the appeal which today has been won.

But I might as well have been talking to myself so I won't find the supporting links & analysis on this newswire until someone expresses interest in updates or additional information through the comments.

At this link you can see the articles which touch the PKK on indymedia ireland.

If you have any Kurdish independence supporting socialist pals who have been monitored or tracked by the Irish secret service section of the Gardai, equivalent of PSNI, MI5 or SIS you might like to let them know they've now changed category, as far as the Europeans are concerned.

The Turks still think they're terrorists. & they're not very popular in Poland.
