Well, you probably know already that the Constitutional Court this Tuesday will begin hearing the case of the Supreme Court of Appeals vs. the DTP. The prosecution demands the party’s closure on charges of separatism.
Around 2 years ago In Nov 2007 the Constitutional Court said it had accepted an indictment from Supreme Court of Appeals prosecutors to shut down the DTP. The prosecution says that the DTP has ties to the PKK. The indictment also calls for 220 DTP members to be banned from politics... Anyways, the DTP has 20 members in the 550-seat Parliament. To shut down the DTP, the Constitution requires that at least 7 of the 11 members of the Constitutional Court vote for its closure.
My questions are: do ya think the DTP will be shut down? If so, do ya think Kurds will even lose more rights?
