EUParliament: Syrian Kurdish Leader killed by Turkey's proxy Gang=Political Motive=>Sakharov Prize ?
*Strasbourg/EU Parliament/Angelo Marcopolo/- 34 Years Young Syrian Kurdish Hevrin Khalef, Leader of "Future Syria" new Party, who was Brutaly Killed by a Gang controlled by Turkey during the current Military Invasion of North-East Syria, has been apparently murdered for Political Motives, and she has just been proposed as a Candidate for EU Parliament's prestigious "Sakharov" Prize, for Freedom of thought and Peace.
--------------------------
This was announced, on Monday Evening in Strasbourg, by Italian MEP Alessandro Panza, of the "ID" Group, close to Salvini's "Lega", the Biggest Party in the Country, which holds a Majority in the Polls, Together with former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Center Right, and Meloni's Rightist Party "Frateli d'Italia", in a reconstitution of a Popular Unity of the Right.
The move comes while EU Parliament's Plenary Session, for this October 2019 in Strasbourg, has scheduled to hold its Main Public Debate, precisely on the Turkish Military Invasion and Occupation of the Syrian Kurdish Region, on Wednesday Morning, i.e. precisely when Expires a Time Deadline of 5 Days that Turkish Prime Minister Tayip Erdogan has notoriously given to the Kurds in order to Evacuate a 440 km Long and 32 Km Large "Security Zone" all Along the Borders between Syria and Turkey, Drop their Heavy Arms, and Massively Retreat towards Syria's Southern Areas, in what EU Council's President Donald Tusk has recently Denounced in Brussels as a Demand for "Capitulation".
On the Contrary, the Latest EU Heads of State/Government's Summit, last Week in Brussels, has just Officialy "Condemned" the Turkish Military Attack and Urged Ankara to "Withdraw" its forces from Syria, as well as to Respect Humanitarian Law for Civilian People, (Following Similar Calls also by the Arab League and others). The Syria Kurds' leadership has just Announced that it accepted a "Cease Fire", but will "Resist" to Turkey's Military Invasion and Occupation, as long as Foreign Troops illegaly remain inside Syrian Territory : A Similar Stance to Damas' National Government by President Bashar Assad, with whom they've just brokered a Deal for National Unity to Face the Turkish Aggression which Violates International Law and an Independen Country's Sovereignity, having also, reportedly, made almost 275 Civilian Victims, including 22 Children and already Displaced about 300.000 Refugees/IDPs according to Syrian Kurdish Regional Administration's latest announcement.
Significantly, the Photo of the Murdered Syrian Kurd Politician, Together with those of various Other Tragic Civilian Victims of Turkey's Military Invasion (including Children, etc), is at the Center of that Collective Press Announcement's Photo by All the Leadership of the Syrian Kurd Region, (Arrached herewith).
Hevrin Khalef's "Future Syria" party, (founded just on 2018), is "promoting Human Rights and Peace-Building", reminded the Italian MEP in an oral Intervention to EU Parliament's Debates and Votes for its Agenda, Monday Afternoon in Strasbourg, while her Brutal Murder, on October 12, 2019, at the Syrian Kurdish Region's Central Highway Motoroad, "has Great Political Aspects", as he Denounced Today in Strasbourg.
Indeed, "the unarmed 35 Years old Woman was Working to Unite Arabs, Christians, and Kurds", reminded earlier also the Experienced, former Long-Time US Presidential Envoy (under GWBush, Obama and Trump) to the Global Coalition against ISIS' Deadly Islamist Terrorists, Brett McGurk, (See :http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/turkeyinsyriasanctionsanddamasarmy.html , etc).
+ While German Chancellor Angie Merkel has just revealed, in conclusion of her Press Conference last Friday in Brussels, that she had Recenty Deployed a lot of Efforts, Together also with UNO's Secretary General Antonio Gutierres and others, in order to Prepare a "Political Solution" for all Syria, Focusing on Constitutional Reforms due to be Drafted by a Constitutional Committee which had been just constituted, that would also allow for Large Numbers of War Refugees to Peacefully and Massiverly Return Back to their Country, and Bitterly Regretted the Fact that, Now, that illegal Turkish Military Invasion had, on the Contrary, Shifted the World's attention towards a Different kind of Issues, Disrupting that Peace-Building International effort, (that also Russian President Vladimir Putin, recently Asked Turkey to Avoid doing it any Harm).
- It's also a Fact that the above-mentioned Murder took place, Exceptionaly (as also some Other Civilian People's Killings on this Same Occasion), Away from the "Zone" revendicated by Ankara, when, apparently, Turkey-Controlled Armed Gangs Suddenly Intruded More Towards the South of Syria, arriving up to the Highway "M4", (See relevant MAP), while the Turkish Aviation reportedly Bombed even a Camp detaining Dangerous ISIS Deadly Terrorists' Relatives at the Southern part of that Highway, letting More than 750 Detainees to Massively Escape. The Syrian Kurdish Region's Forces, allied with Damas' National Government Army, reportedly Fought and Recuperated the Control of this Central Higwhay, a few Days Afterwards.
- The Suspected Killers of Hevrin Khalef are an Armed Gang of Islamists, affiliated to a Terrorist Organisation "Controlled by Turkey", Denounced, meanwhile, Today Afternoon in Strasbourg MEP Alessandro Panza, speaking in EU Parliament's Plenary, almost Echoing also French President Macron's earlier Warning, in Concllusion of his Press Conference on Brussels' latest EU Summit last Friday, for "Turkey to bear the Heavy Responsibility of being Accomplice to a Possible Revival of ISIS"' deadly Islamist Terrorists, (See, f.ex.: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/eucriticalonturkey.html , etc).
- The EU has Spared Turkey for a Long Time, keeping a too "Soft" attitude vis a vis Ankara, until recently, while, on the Contrary, Other "People are Sacrificing even their own Lives", for Human Rights, Freedom and Peace, the Italian MEP Denounced, (Largely Applauded on this occasion by Many Other MEPs too).
- EU Parliament's President Sassoli, also from Italy, Replying to that MEP's public intervention, officially promised that the European Organisation's competent services will, indeed, Examine the matter that he raised asap.

They voted to "freeze" UK Government's draft to put People in jail for 42 Days on "anti-terrorist" suspicion without charge, or they abstained. Don't they look suspect ?
-------------------------
CoE's debate on UK controversy stirs PanEuropean check of anti-terror suspects' imprisonment
Former Leftists of the Sixties would boil in hot water if they heard PACE's debate on the controversial 42 days detention without charge, currently drafted by the British Government :
A "Socialist" Government, a Socialist PACE Rapporteur and a Socialist Chair of PACE's Legal Committee, opposed a .. "Conservative" amendment (supported by .. Liberals, Democrats, etc), to freeze the measure, in order to protect Citizens' Freedom, by "waiting" until CoE's Venice Committee checks its conformity with Human Rights' principles.
"Left"'s support to Conservative-Lib.Dem's criticism, wasn't enough to obtain a majority, nor to make things as they were back in the good old days, when "Left" and "Right" had a clear meaning, as "liberty" and "restrictions"...
Conservatives and most Democrats were joined by the Left in voting for the "freeze", as well as Liberal Paul Rowen, while Socialist MEP Ivan Popescu, an experienced MEP from Ukraine (PACE Member since 1996-2008) abstained. But most Socialists, added to a few Liberals and EPP's Right, voted against.
Fortunately, someone inside PACE had the wise idea to shorten the Debate for less than 1 Hour, and put it on the Agenda only at the end of an exceptionally busy day, towards the end of the Evening, when most MEPs had already gone to taste wins and foods at various Receptions all around Strasbourg's "European" area : As a result, not even 42 MEPs weren't present..
Socialist Lord Tomlinson accused the leaders of the PanEuropean Assembly, in its highest body : the "Bureau", to "lack wisdom" by deciding to hold a Debate on an issue that neither the Socialist Chair of the Legal Committee, nor its Socialist "reluctant Rapporteur", did "not want to do", ...
Finally, everybody (critics and supporters alike) was happy to agree, in substance, that the controversial measure "may" gravely violate Human Rights, and therefore, PACE asked Legal Experts of Venice Commission to check UK Government''s plans.
But this might take more than .. 42 Days to do, since PACE's Rapporteur asked the Experts to enlarge their study in a PanEuropean comparison of all that is happening on "anti-terrorism" legislation in 47 CoE Member Countries, including Russia, Turkey and Azerbaidjan..
Bad lack : "The existing 28 days’ detention without charge in the UK is, in comparison with other CoE member countries, one of the most extreme : In Turkey, the period is 7,5 days, in France 6 days, in Russia 5 days, and in .. the U.S. and Canada just 2 and 1 days respectively", denounced Democrat MEP Ms WOLDSETH from Norway..
"Numerous respected human rights organisations, including Liberty and Human Rights Watch, have expressed serious concern" "The proposed legislation ...could easily lead to extensive abuses. ...Detention for 42 days means six weeks in which one is taken away from one’s family, friends, home and livelihood only to be let off without being charged. That will destroy lives and isolate communities", she added.
- "3 years ago, the UK Government sought to increase the period of pre-charge detention from 14 days to 90 days. Not long before that, it had been only 7 days. There was a vigorous debate ...and a ...compromise was reached of 28 days. We have to ask whether there are proper safeguards in place to extend the period to 42 days. I suggest that there are fatal flaws", reminded British Conservative Clappison.
- "What sort of society holds someone in detention for 42 days and does not have to tell the person who is in prison why they are there, or explain the suspicions that arose and led to their detention? What sort of society believes that that is the way to treat its citizens? That is an appalling injustice, ...A 42-day detention period will not make the UK safer. Instead, it will be the first step to giving in to terrorists; it is saying that we are prepared to sacrifice our democratic rights and the principles for which we have stood for centuries", criticized British Liberal Michael Hanckock
"Comments made ...by Norwegian delegates are unfortunate", replied British Socialist MEP Ms.Curtis-Thomas, accusing them to "besmirch the reputation of our police force, which is one of the Best in the World", as she said, believing that "there are significant safeguards ...to ensure that individuals are not subjected to unlawful detention"
PACE "has serious doubts whether ...the draft legislation are in conformity with the ...case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. A lack of ..safeguards may lead to arbitrariness, resulting in breaches of ... liberty and ...right to a fair trial". PACE "is particularly concerned that: ..the judge ..may not be in a position to examine whether there exist reasonable grounds for suspecting that the arrested person has committed an offence;"; that "... representation by a lawyer may be inappropriately restricted or delayed;" that "information on the grounds for suspicion of a person ...may be unduly withheld.. ;" that this "may give rise to arrests without the intention to charge;", and; in general, that "prolonged detention without proper information on the grounds for arrest may constitute inhuman treatment", says Klaus De Vries' Report, adopted with 29 votes against zero.
Records don't say if it took him 42 Days to draft his Report, but, at least, he knew why...
