Rome - Rome's Appeal Court yesterday threw out a petition by lawyers acting for Turkey asking Italy to put the Kurdish rebel leader, Mr Abdullah Ocalan, under preventive detention.
The President of the Court, Mr Tommaso Figliuzzi, declared the request inadmissible, saying it could be granted only at the behest of the Italian Justice Minister, Mr Oliviero Diliberto, who has already recommended the guerrilla leader remain free.
