Turkish prosecutors are seeking jail sentences of up to 142 years for the two leaders of the main pro-Kurdish opposition party on charges including managing a terrorist organisation, according to the court indictment.
Turkish prosecutors are demanding up to 142 years in prison for pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) co-leader Selahattin Demirtas on charges of links to Kurdish militants
Demirtaş was detained in November along with another nine HDP lawmakers and his female co-leader Figen Yüksekdağ.
Prosecutors in the Kurdish-majority southeastern city of Diyarbakir in the same indictment asked that Figen Yüksekdağ serves up to 83 years in jail.
Parliament stripped lawmakers of legal immunity last year, paving the way for the arrests of 11 HDP legislators, including Demirtaş and Yüksekdağ.
