Hereketa İslamiya Kurdistane was a Kurdish Sunni Islamist sociopolitical movement in southeastern Turkey. It was established in 1993 and led by Seyda Mele Abdullah. The group merged with the Kurdistan Islamic Community (CÎK), a pro-PKK faction, in 2004. It was not listed as part of the 12 active terrorist organisations in Turkey as of 2007 due to it not being active, although it was a terrorist organization before.[1]
