The Turkish MP gets nervous in the Parliament, takes out the hammer and breaks

A Turkish MP broke his mobile phone with a hammer while speaking in parliament.

Burak Erbay, who is a member of the opposition Republican People's Party, was protesting against a proposed government-backed bill aimed at combating "disinformation" online.

Under this legislation, social media networks and websites will have to publish details of users suspected of "spreading misleading information" and could result in those accused being jailed for up to three years.

Critics say the bill, if passed into law, would infringe on press freedoms and lead to widespread censorship.
