Six Charged in London for Alleged Membership in Banned Kurdish Group PKK

The individuals, arrested in November, face terrorism charges following a counter-terrorism investigation by UK police.

Six individuals, aged 23 to 62, have been charged with being members of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the UK.
The arrests and subsequent charges stem from a counter-terrorism investigation conducted by London's Metropolitan Police in late November.
The PKK, designated as a terrorist organization in the UK since 2001, has been engaged in a long-running insurgency in Turkey seeking Kurdish independence.
Raids linked to the investigation included a Kurdish community center in north London, prompting protests from local Kurdish groups who criticized the arrests as unjust.
Authorities emphasized the seriousness of the charges and pledged ongoing communication with affected communities to address concerns and maintain safety.
