ISTANBUL: A Turkish court on Thursday handed the MP niece of the jailed leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Abdullah Ocalan, a two- and-a-half-year jail term on charges of terror propaganda. Dilek Ocalan has served in parliament since June 2015 elections as an MP for the pro-Kurdish Peoples´ Democratic Party (HDP). But the party, the second largest opposition faction in parliament, has been battered since the failed 2016 coup bid by arrests of its MPs and officials, including its former top leadership.
