The Kurdish Democratic Council-France (CDK-F) issued an urgent statement on Thursday warning of the possible deportation of yet another activist to Turkey.

Kurdish activist Serhat Gültekin was sent to a deportation center on Thursday, said the CDK-F, adding that he risks "imminent deportation to Turkey where he faces torture and years in prison."

The statement said: "Three days after delivering Mehmet Kopal to Turkey, France wants to make a new victim. Meanwhile, a Turkish Secret Service agent convicted of an attempted attack against Kurdish officials lives in complete freedom on French territory."
