The “Deputies for Deputies” Campaign launched when 55 HDP MPs were stripped off their immunity keeps growing with additions from various parliaments throughout the world.
382 parliamentarians from the European Parliament and national and local parliaments in France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, the UK, Scotland, Belgium and Austria have joined and actively taken part in the campaign for solidarity with HDP MPs up to date.
The parliamentarians in solidarity are constantly informed of the developments in Turkey and they continue their work in their own countries by taking the unlawful practices against the elected officials to the government, parliament, media and civilian society to increase awareness.
VISITS WILL CONTINUE DESPITE OBSTACLES
The deputies in solidarity form committees and visit Turkey occasionally to visit the HDP MPs in prisons. Although the Ministry of Justice doesn’t allow these visits, the committees will keep visiting Turkey to access the HDP MPs with determination in the coming days.
In parallel with the continued arrests of HDP co-chairs and MPs, more European parliamentarians are expected to join the campaign actively and hold solidarity events.
