On this day, 9 January 2013, three Kurdish women – Fidan Doğan, Sakine Cansız and Leyla Söylemez – were assassinated in Paris. Two of the victims had been founding members of the left-wing Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK). French judicial officials told the Agence France-Presse that the murder suspect, Ömer Güney, was involved with the Turkish secret service, Millî İstihbarat Teşkilatı (MIT). The Turkish government denied involvement. Güney died of a brain injury before his murder trial began. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2182790895239382/?type=3
