Niece of Kurdish Leader Ocalan Deported From France
To Italy
MARSEILLE, France, Feb 16 (AFP) A niece
of Abdullah Ocalan, the Kurdish rebel leader jailed in Turkey, was deported from
France to Italy on Wednesday to pursue an asylum request there, French officials
said.
Ayney Ocalan, 24, was escorted from Marseille to Rome after being ordered to
report to the southern French city's main police station, her lawyer, Lionel
Febbraro, told AFP.
She had arrived in Marseille in November last year but French authorities
determined she could not stay in France until her asylum application was
processed in Italy, he said.
Febbraro called his client's summons to the police station on Tuesday "a
trap" and said he had lodged a legal complaint against the deportation as soon
as she was detained.
If she wins the complaint, she may be allowed back into France, he explained. |
