Turkey passes bill to strip politicians of immunity
Turkey's parliament has ratified a bill that will strip some legislators of immunity from prosecution - a move members of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) say targets them.
Championed by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), the bill will amend the constitution, adding a temporary clause to remove immunity from a total of 138 deputies - the exact number who are currently facing criminal investigations.
