Ertugrul Kurkcu and Sebahat Tuncel from the People's Democracy Party (HDP) and three Republican People's Party (CHP) lawmakers, Musa Cam, Aykut Erdogdu and Mahmut Tanal, were injured late Feb. 17 during a debate on the bill in a closed session of the General Assembly. Lawmakers of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) were accused of beating two female deputies of the HDP, Pervin Buldan and Tuncel. Tanal shared the footage of the incident on YouTube |
