KURDISH campaigners called on the British government to freeze ties with Turkey over the arrest of three opposition MPs today after they were stripped of their parliamentary immunity. 

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) MPs Leyla Guven and Musa Farisogullari were detained on Thursday night along with Republican People’s Party's (CHP) Enis Berberoglu after the Court of Appeal upheld charges against them. 

The two HDP politicians have been charged with alleged links to the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and Mr Berberoglu for disclosing government secrets after he released footage allegedly showing Turkey’s state intelligence agency delivering weapons to Syria for use by insurgents there.
