Turkish court jails Kurd politician over speeches

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, Dec 4 (Reuters) - A Turkish court on Thursday sentenced Kurdish politician Leyla Zana, a former Nobel Peace Prize nominee, to ten years in prison for "committing crimes for a terror group", court officials said.

She was convicted of spreading propaganda for the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) guerrilla group in nine speeches which she made at protest meetings and news conferences.

Zana gained prominence in 1991 for taking part of her oath of office in parliament in Kurdish, which is not recognised as an official language in Turkey.

She was convicted in 1994 by a state security court of links to militants from the PKK, which is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.

In 2004, she was released after the appeals court overturned her conviction and that of three other Kurdish former lawmakers.
