Turkey wants the Kurds to be handed over to them on a platter!

Turkey has demanded that Iraq extradite the 150 and odd Kurdistan peoples party leaders and top officials to Turkey right away. Common sense does suggest that Turkey will torture and finish off those leaders in an attempt to put an end to this rebel group. The Kurds have always had a violent history with Turkey in the past and nothing in Turkey's recent action suggest that they will allow a fair process of law to take place if the rebels were indeed extradited to Turkey.

Turkey has not given any guarantees that these rebels will be treated fairly and as such, the extradition of any such rebels to Turkey will be tantamount to giving them the death sentence before which they will be tortured. The Red Cross and Amnesty international should take serious note of Turkey's demand and make sure that such an extradition does not take place. Iraq needs the good will of the world at large and if it were to do this, then Iraq would have bought peace at the cost of blood of its own Iraqi citizens. Is such 'bloody peace' really worth anything today?
