On 9 November 2007 the Turkish chief public prosecutor launched an investigation into her activities, after she visited Iraq with two other DTP politicians to obtain the release of eight Turkish soldiers held by PKK forces. The prosecutor requested that the Turkish Parliament remove the parliamentary immunity of all three MPs.
