Kurdish deputies entered Turkish parliament in the hope of finding a peaceful solution but three cases opened against them demanding 150 years imprisonment for Leyla Zana, Nursel Aydogan and Aysel Tugluk on grounds of the speeches they made before the elections and during funeral ceremonies of a guerrilla.
The accusations issued by Amed (Diyarbakir) Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and accepted by the Special Authorized 7th High Criminal Court demanded 45 years in prison for Leyla Zana on charges of "spreading propaganda for the organization” for four times, “opposing the law on meetings and demonstrations” for two times and “committing a crime on behalf of the organization despite not being a member of the organization”.
While the accusation against Diyarbakir deputy Nursel Aydogan claimed that Aydogan committed crime in four activities she took part in and demanded up to a total of 72 years imprisonment for Aydogan who was charged with "spreading propaganda for the organization” and “committing a crime on behalf of the organization despite not being a member of the organization” for four times.
Van Independent MP Aysel Tugluk was also charged with the same accusations on the grounds of joining the funeral ceremony of a guerrilla in Ergan district of Amed. Up to 33 years imprisonment is demanded for Tugluk.
The trials of three deputies are expected to start at the 7th High Criminal Court of Amed in the coming days.
