In a summary of proceedings from the Ministry of Justice, a prosecutor asked parliament for removal of immunity from prosecution for 43 Members of Parliament, including three opposition party leaders, just one day before the local elections, according to T24 news portal’s report on Saturday.
A total of 83 summaries of proceedings were filed against 43 MPs on Saturday. Among them are the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, and pro-Kurdish opposition People’s Democratic Party co-leaders, Pervin Buldan and Sezai Temelli.
In 2016, the Turkish parliament’s general assembly voted on a bill to remove the immunity of 112 MPs out of 500 dossiers. Following this, Selahattin Demirtas, the pro-Kurdish HDP’s former leader, was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison in September 2018.
