Peoples' Democratic Party in Turkey

Early day motion 946, tabled 8 March 2023 by Lloyd Russell-Moyle (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 14 members.

That this House expresses concern over the court case against the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) in Turkey which could result in its closure; notes this would be in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights and prevent a democratically elected party from participating in politics; calls on the international community to show support for the HDP; urges the Government to condemn the closure case and support human rights and the rule of law in Turkey; and stands in support with the HDP and all those who advocate for democracy, human rights and pluralism in Turkey.
