Sweden Extradites Turkish Citizen to Turkey Amid NATO Membership Dispute.

TL;DR Summary
Sweden has decided to extradite a Turkish citizen residing in Sweden to Turkey, who had been convicted of drug crime in Turkey in 2013. The move comes as Turkey continues to hold up Sweden's bid to join NATO. The man, who claimed the real reason for his extradition was his support for a pro-Kurdish political party, is under investigation in Turkey for posting manipulated photos of President Erdogan online. The PKK, considered a terror group by Turkey and its Western allies, has waged an insurgency since 1984.
