People's Labor Party or People's Work Party (Turkish: Halkın Emek Partisi, HEP) was a pro-Kurdish political party in Turkey. It was founded on 7 June 1990 by seven members of the Turkish Grand National Assembly expelled from the Social Democratic Populist Party (SHP). HEP was led by Ahmet Fehmi Işıklar. Due to the overt promotion of Kurdish cultural and political rights the party was banned by the Constitutional Court in July 1993.[1]
It was succeeded by the Democracy Party (DEP) established in May 1993.
