New report against HDP Diyarbakır Deputy Semra Güzel

HDP Diyarbakır MP Semra Güzel was stripped of her parliamentary immunity after the vote held at the General Assembly, and now a new report was prepared about her, with the accusation of financing of terrorism, and was sent to the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The report sent by the Prosecutor’s Office as an additional file to the Parliament was not included in the process. Since the technical connection of the report with the previous 2 files which determined the decision to lift the immunity could not be determined, it was returned to the judiciary.

Background

On 1 March 2022, the parliamentary immunity of Ms. Güzel was lifted by a vote taken at the national parliament. The relevant parliamentary joint commission had previously prepared a report on two summaries of proceedings against Ms. Güzel and concluded by a majority of votes that she should be stripped of her immunity.
