FRANCE has reopened investigations into the 2013 assassinations of three Kurdish women, including Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) co-founder Sakine Cansiz, with allegations that Turkish intelligence was involved.

It follows a complaint filed by the victims’ families in March 2018 with nobody so far having been brought to justice for the killings. 

They pushed for investigations to be reopened, claiming to have documents which prove Turkey’s National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) was behind the murders of Ms Cansiz, Fidan Dogan and Leyla Soylemez.
