Turkish prosecutor seeks aggravated life term for HDP lawmaker

A prosecutor in southeastern Turkey's Diyarbakır province demanded aggravated life term imprisonment for the opposition People's Democratic Party's (HDP) parliamentary group deputy chairman İdris Baluken under the terror probe.

Baluken along with the party's co-chairpersons and a dozen lawmakers were arrested earlier this month for their suspected links with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) terror group.
