KURDISH political leaders called on the United States today to to revoke its “immoral decree,” after a bounty was placed on the heads of three leading figures of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) earlier this week.

On Tuesday, Washington renewed a 2018 promise of millions of dollars for information leading to the capture of PKK military commander Murat Karayilan and leading PKK cadres Cemil Bayik and Duran Kalkan.

The State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme offered the cash bounty, listing the PKK as a foreign terrorist entity, a designation which is rejected by the organisation and has been challenged in court.
