TIP applies to the Constitutional Court for Can Atalay
The Workers' Party of Turkey (TIP) has filed an application with the Constitutional Court (AYM) requesting that the revocation of the parliamentary membership of TIP MP Can Atalay—who was convicted in the Gezi Park trial and whose parliamentary status was stripped after a Supreme Court of Appeals ruling was read in Parliament—be declared null and void.
Imprisoned TIP Hatay MP Can Atalay and the lawyers for TIP Chairman Erkan Baş filed an application with the Constitutional Court today, requesting the determination of the absence and the cancellation of the parliamentary revocation process, arguing that stripping Atalay of his membership during the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) General Assembly session violated Article 84 of the Constitution.
