    ANKARA,— A Turkish parliamentary committee approved late on Monday a bill that strips deputies of immunity from prosecution, paving the way for legislation that members of the pro-Kurdish opposition say is designed to target them and suppress dissent.
    Hours earlier, when the committee debated the draft law, a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] broke out between members of the ruling AK Party and the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP).
    The deputies traded kicks and punches and threw water at each other, a Reuters reporter witnessed, prompting members of the HDP to withdraw. The three other parliamentary parties subsequently approved the draft.

    Parliament’s general assembly will now debate and vote on the bill, which would strip immunity from members of parliament who currently face investigations.
    President Tayyip Erdogan, who founded the AKP, has called for members of HDP to face prosecution, accusing them of being an extension of the outlawed militant group, the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
    Turkish lawmakers are immune from prosecution while in office. The police can file “dossiers” against politicians, which can lead to a legal process once they cease to be members of parliament.

    Turkish state still denies the constitutional existence of Kurds who make up around [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of the country’s 78-million population.
    Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for deputies of the pro-Kurdish HDP to face prosecution, accusing them of being an extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party PKK.
    The PKK took up arms in 1984 against the Turkish state to push for greater autonomy for the Kurdish minority in Turkish Kurdistan.
