The state news agency Anadolu reported on Monday. This opens the process for a ban on the second largest opposition party. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accuses the HDP of being the extended arm of the PKK, which is considered a terrorist organization in Turkey, Europe and the USA. The HDP rejects this.
The Attorney General of the Supreme Court filed a revised complaint to the Constitutional Court to ban HDP in early June. A first attempt in March failed due to formal deficiencies.
Permanent ban required
According to Anadolu, the party is accused of separatism in an approximately 850-page indictment. In addition to a permanent ban on the party, the public prosecutor’s office is demanding a political ban on around 500 people. The party also threatens to block their bank account. Further details are not yet known – the HDP says the revised indictment has not yet been served.
