(Anadolu) Banning images of Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed head of the PKK terrorist group, is in line with laws and regulations, a German regional court ruled on Monday.
The Higher Administrative Court in North Rhine-Westphalia turned down a complaint filed by a PKK-linked group, which claimed that the police’s prohibition of Ocalan posters during their meeting was illegal.
The court underlined that the PKK is classified as a terrorist organization by the EU, and is banned from operating in Germany, and therefore the images of its leader Abdullah Ocalan were not allowed to be used in certain meetings, in order to counter terrorist propaganda.
