DENK MP Doğukan Ergin filed a complaint against television personality Johan Derksen over remarks Derksen made on Tuesday's Today Inside during a discussion of ritual slaughter without prior stunning. Derksen said Ergin should be used as a test subject by having his throat cut to determine whether that causes pain.
