Turkish police detain pro-Kurdish parliamentarian whose immunity was lifted


ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish police detained a pro-Kurdish member of parliament who was wanted over alleged terrorism charges, the Interior Ministry said on Friday, months after her parliamentary immunity had been lifted.

Turkey's parliament voted to lift Semra Guzel's immunity in March over a photo of her taken with a militant from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and an arrest warrant was issued for her on charges of membership of a terrorist organisation.
