The police searched the PKK Cultural Center, which is believed to be the party’s financial center. The policemen found documents and detained several people.

Nedim Seven, the PKK's “black box” is to be tried in Paris on October 21 in connection of his extradition to Turkey.

Turkey officially requested France for their extradition.
