Hakkı Öznür, author of Derin Sol (Deep Left), reveals how PKK
leader Öcalan ordered the execution of about one hundred PKK

founders and central committee members, including Şahin Dönmez
and Mehmet Şener (who was the fiancée of Sakine Cansız, killed in
Paris), along with thousands of militants on the classic charges of
"disobedience to the leadership," "treachery," being an "agent provo-
cateur" or "spy".

Ali Ömürcan, one of the founding members of the PKK, was
questioned by Cemil Bayık in Lebanon and subsequently executed
while Halil Kaya, who was made first deputy secretary general in the
Third PKK Congress, was killed by firing squad upon Öcalan's
instruction.

Kani Yılmaz (Faysal Dumlayıcı), who
played a part in the foundation of the PKK,
was held responsible for not being able to

find a place in Europe for Öcalan to hide
before he was captured, and was therefore

Mehmet Şener from founding leaders cadre and
his fiancée Sakine Cansız were executed by order
of the PKK leaders.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE PKK!
SHE COLLIDED WITH ÖCALAN
