Amnesty: ‘Credible evidence’ of torture of Turkey coup detainees
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHuman rights group Amnesty International says it has “credible evidence” of abuse and torture of people detained in sweeping arrests since Turkey’s July 15 coup attempt aimed at ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The London-based group says some of those being held are being “subjected to beatings and torture, including rape, in official and unofficial detention centers in the country.”
A Turkish official said earlier today that the country has detained a senior aide to the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom it blames for the coup attempt.
