Constitutional Court sends indictment seeking ban of HDP back to prosecutor over omissions, state media reports.
Turkey’s top court has sent an indictment calling for the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) to be banned back to the prosecutor citing procedural grounds, state media reported. The Constitutional Court ruled that the indictment had procedural omissions and returned it to the Court of Cassation, state-owned Anadolu Agency said on Wednesday. The Court of Cassation can re-submit the indictment after completing the necessary details. That means the case against the HDP has been delayed for “an indefinite period of time”, private broadcaster NTV said.
