Türkiye: imprisoned opposition MP stripped of his mandate. Sentenced to an 18-year sentence, Can Atalay remains in detention despite his election last year.
The opposition unanimously denounces a serious attack on the constitutional order. The presidential party, the AKP, is considering a reform to bring this institution, perceived as too resistant to the injunctions of those in power, into line. Its ultranationalist ally, the MHP, is calling for its outright abolition.
