State Dept Is Working To ID Erdogan Bodyguards Who Beat Up Protesters In DC

The State Department is working with Washington, D.C. police and the U.S. Secret Service to identify the bodyguards working for Turkey’s president who beat up protesters outside of the Turkish embassy in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.

The melee left at least nine protesters injured and generated intense backlash against Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Newsham added that “a diplomatic immunity issue” could arise in the case since registered diplomats are generally protected from prosecution in criminal cases.

But Newsham added that “we are going to pursue everything that’s in our legal power” as part of the investigation.

The State Department said in a statement that it is communicating its concern to the Turkish government “in the strongest possible terms.”.

Erdogan’s bodyguards were involved in a similar incident during a visit to Washington, D.C. last March.

A social media campaign began on Wednesday to identify the Erdogan bodyguards involved in the brawl. »
