Czech court releases Kurdish leader Salih Muslim charge with terrorism

A Czech court has released Syrian Kurdish leader Salih Muslim, who is wanted by Turkey. Turkey's ambassador said the decision may impact relations with a NATO ally.

The founder and former co-chair of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), the dominant Kurdish political party in Syria, Muslim was detained in Prague on Saturday while attending a conference on the Middle East.

"The court accepted a promise by Mr. Muslim that he will remain on EU territory and will be attending court hearings," a court spokesperson said.
