Turkey Yet another investigation into opposition leader_1

Another investigation has been opened into Turkey’s main opposition leader and Republican People’s Party (CHP) chairman Özgür Özel for comments made towards Istanbul Chief Prosecutor Akın Gürlek at a political rally in Istanbul’s Beyoğlu district. The investigation accuses Özel of ‘insulting and threatening a public official’, similar to an earlier investigation opened into the CHP leader in June.
