Leyla Zana is under threat of being dismissed from the parliament

Turkish parliament will discuss to dismiss Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) MP Leyla Zana after judicial and constitutional commissions report.

The commissions pointed out that Zana missed 212 parliamentary sessions and asked for her dismissal.

The parliament will discuss her dismissal on Wednesday.

HDP condemned the move and said, “At the moment, the dismissal of Leyla Zana’s membership is being discussed in the parliament. The fearless defender of the Kurdish people’s fight for democracy, dignified peace, equality, and freedom, Leyla Zana, is the representative of the people”.

The Turkish parliament previously dismissed two other HDP deputies, Tugba Hezer Ozturk and Faysal Sariyildiz.
