Prague denied Turkey accusations after releasing Salih Muslim
The Czech Foreign Ministry rejected accusations by Ankara that the European country supported terrorism, Reuters reported.
Prague made the remarks following statements from Turkish government officials critical of a Czech court’s decision to release Syrian Kurdish leader Salih Muslim.
Saleh Muslim was detained over the weekend in the Czech capital at the request of Turkey, which accuses him of disrupting the state and aggravated murder. Turkey’s government said his release was political and “a clear support for terror”.
“The Czech Republic strongly rejects any accusation of support of international terrorism,” the ministry said, adding extradition proceedings have not been concluded by the court decision.
