The Prosecutor asked for Kon-Kurd president Nizamettin Toguc to be freed. The final decision will be given tonight or in the next few days, but lawyer for Toguc believes that Prosecutor request will be accepted by the Court.

Basically the Prosecutor accepted that Toguc, who is a Dutch citizen, could be freed upon giving an address in Italy where he could be found at any time. The Prosecutor further asked for Toguc to sign at the police station. Turkey sent quite a big dossier about Toguc explaining that as he is the president of KonKurd, and has been among the founders of the Kurdish Parliament in Exile, he therefore is a member of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and because the PKK is on the terrorist organizations list in Europe must be detained and extradited.

The defense lawyer, Arturo Salerni, argued that Turkey actually offered the best defense of his client, basically admitting that the extradition request is indeed a political motivated request. And that precisely because it is a political motivated request could not be accepted.

Not only that, lawyer Salerni reminded the Court of Appeal that Italy has indeed granted political asylum to Abdullah Ocalan, president of the PKK, in doing so recognizing the persecution of the Kurdish political movement.
