British law enforcement has taken significant action against alleged members of a prohibited Kurdish militant organization known as the PKK.
The Metropolitan Police in London reported that six individuals have been formally charged with being part of a terrorist group and are scheduled to appear in court for an initial hearing later today.
The accused, whose ages range from 23 to 62, were apprehended in London on November 27. Notably, a 31-year-old individual arrested concurrently has since been released without any charges filed against them.

The PKK, or Kurdistan Workers’ Party, has been engaged in a long-standing conflict in Turkey, striving for the establishment of an independent Kurdish state and is classified as a terrorist organization in the United Kingdom.
Following the arrests, police conducted searches at various locations in north London, including a center that serves the Kurdish community, which led to public protests.

Detective Chief Superintendent Caroline Haines, who oversees police operations in Haringey—a borough of London with significant Turkish and Kurdish populations—recognized the profound impact of these law enforcement activities on local Kurdish residents.
She emphasized the importance of maintaining communication with the Kurdish community, stating that the police would continue to provide updates and address any concerns raised by its members going forward.
