More context: Under Turkish law, any elected lawmaker are granted immunity no matter any previous punishment. Can Atalay was elected as a lawmaker from Turkish Workers Party while he was in jail; but he was refused to let go out of the jail.

The debate about him went all the way to the head law court (AYM); and they essentially said “people elected him, he should be let go, keeping him in jail is not legal”.

On this parliament debate this was meant to be discussed; however members of the governing party first started provoking other parties; then they initiated a fist fight.

Well, immunity applies to all elected lawmakers. If you’ve been punched by a lawmaker, you have no grounds to sue it.
