Abdullah Öcalan (born 4 April 1949), also known as Apo, is a founding member of the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). He helped found the PKK in 1978, and led it into the Kurdish–Turkish conflict in 1984. Öcalan was abducted in Nairobi in 1999 by the Turkish National Intelligence Agency (MIT) (with assistance of the USA) and taken to Turkey, where he is still held in Imrali prison, in the Sea of Marmara.
