THE KIDNAPPER KADEK IS NOW ON THE MAN HUNT

After it had been included in the EU's list of terrorist organizations, the terrorist organization PKK (currently named KADEK), which has been short of cadres due to the executions within the organization and the defections, has been obtaining a large amount of income from alien trafficking while it is continuing kidnapping activities with an effort to find new cadres for the organization.

Regarding the activities of KADEK, whose major source of income is alien trafficking, in the European countries, the news report that was published in Der Spiegel Magazine on 6 January 2003 suggests the following:

"The Police have to protect young women, who are members of the Yezidi community, from their own relatives and help them escape because the tribes are implementing marriage rules by resorting to violence.

The 16-year-old Sükriye E. had to run away from a basement window after her brother had caught her with her boyfriend because Sükriye knew that those who had relations with people belonging to other religions would be punished by death.

Sükriye escaped from Celle five years ago. She hid in various cities in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. However, the Celle police believe that her life is still under threat. The police have reported ten similar cases in Celle alone. Young men and more frequently young women run away from home because of the strict marriage rules of Yezidis. (The reason why young people run away is that the Yezidis have to be virgin when they get married and that they can only get married with other Yezidis who have the same social status as theirs.)

In order to prevent them from being exposed to violence from their families, the police give new identities to the young runaways who ask for their help, and sometimes send them abroad. Yezidi tribes, however, do not easily give in. In order to find the whereabouts of the young runaways, they make some deals with the terrorist organization PKK (its new name is KADEK), paying them large amounts of money. According to the police authorities, the PKK (KADEK) has been carrying out an intensive and organized search for the young runaways. The PKK forwards the photographs of the young runaways from one city to another through the affiliated associations. It is reported that the PKK makes use of its organizational structures throughout Germany for such activities. The PKK also offers rewards for information about the whereabouts of the runaways but it takes the actual reward from the families."

It has been reported that the terrorist organization KADEK (the PKK), which has been continuing its kidnapping activities, abducted a 14-year-old girl, Gülcan Algül, in Montpellier, France. It has been stated that the KADEK members, who had been chasing Gülcan Algül for a while, might have abducted her on 24 January 2003 when she was home alone. It is reported that the Algül family, who took refuge first in Italy and thence in France with the help of KADEK a year ago, has gone to the police claiming that their daughter might have been abducted by KADEK since the family had been unable to pay the money requested by the organization and had constantly been threatened.

A news report published in the Focus magazine on 4 November 2002 emphasized that the PKK (KADEK), which claimed that it had ceased from perpetrating acts of violence, was continuing to abduct children and youngsters living in Germany. Following is a quotation from this report: "The sudden disappearance of Vildan S., who was a student at the Blumlager School in Celle, Saxony, has prompted the police and the State Protection Unit to take action. City of Celle is known to be a major center for the activities of the terrorist organization PKK. Numerous children at the same age as Vildan S. (fifteen and below) had previously been abducted to the PKK's military camps. Authorities of the State Protection Unit state that the young girl might have been taken to the PKK camps in the Netherlands or in Belgium. The security department notes that Vildan S., who has been kidnapped by the PKK, might have been sent to the conflict area in Northern Iraq after having undergone an intensive ideological training. Rudiger Hesse, the Spokesman of the Organization for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony, underlines that the PKK is still continuing its activities in Germany although it has been banned since 1993 and that it extorts money, abducts children and youngsters and sends them to the organization camps. A senior PKK member stated to the Focus Magazine that Vildan has received an intensive training in the organization camps but he did not tell in which camp she is."

In the report issued by the United Nations and the Radda Bamen, the Swedish Organization for the Protection of Children, it was stated that the PKK has so far kidnapped more than 3 thousand children and provided them with ideological training in the training camps and that the children abducted from Germany, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Syria, Greece, Turkey, Iraq, Armenia and Iran have been used in the armed attacks of the PKK. The aforementioned report has also warned the relevant departments of the EU member countries about the "kidnapping" activities of the PKK which has changed its name into KADEK.
