Turkey Debates Conditional Amnesty Bill for Kurdish PKK Fighters Amid Peace Efforts
Turkey's parliament is set to debate a draft law offering conditional amnesty to Kurdish militants of the PKK, aiming to advance peace after decades of conflict. The bill would suspend prosecutions and prison sentences for some fighters upon disarmament, excluding senior figures like Abdullah Ocalan. The PKK criticized the law for not addressing Kurdish political rights fully and called for Ocalan's release. The legislation follows the PKK's 2024 announcement to disarm and disband, part of ongoing peace efforts.
