Acting Commander Helen Flanagan stated, 'These are targeted arrests of those we suspect of being involved in terrorist activity linked to the group.' This underscores the UK's commitment to addressing threats.
The PKK, formed in 1978, seeks an independent Kurdish state and has resorted to military conflict and political means, designated as a terrorist organization since 2001.
Tenured investigations have shown that while the PKK's actions have resulted in over 7,119 fatalities since mid-2015, the current operations do not pose an immediate threat to the public.
Evidence suggests that PKK's activities intensified post-2015 due to increased Turkish military operations, leading the group to conduct more operations in Iraq and Syria.
