German Parliament Lifts Immunity for Gökay Akbulut and Ingo Hahn - German Parliament Removes Parliamentary Immunity for Gökay Akbulut and Ingo Hahn
Hey there!The German parliament, known as the Bundestag, recently took a notable step by revoking the immunity of two of its members, Gökay Akbulut from the Left party and AfD member Ingo Hahn, albeit for distinct reasons.
Gökay Akbulut's Allegations
In the case of Akbulut, the Bundestag has given the green light for a criminal investigation. Akbulut is accused of an act of violent intent, namely tossing a bottle at a fellow passenger on a train from Heidelberg to Stuttgart. A fellow MP claimed to have been the victim of a racially charged and sexually explicit attack by a man, which Akbulut reportedly perpetrated.
Ingo Hahn's History of Misconduct
Hahn's immunity was previously rescinded last year when he was still a member of the Bavarian state parliament. Hahn is under investigation for publishing a manipulated and misrepresented video on social media that deceived viewers regarding a speech delivered by a Free Voters party member.
