Hereketa İslamiya Kurdistane was a Kurdish Sunni Islamist socio-political movement, formerly based 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 organizations in Turkey as of 2007 due to it not being active, although it was formerly designated as a terrorist organization by the Turkish government before.
