Erdogan controls judiciary by arresting 21 citizens released by court


The Turkish authorities issued a new arrest warrant for 21 citizens, accusing them of trying to take control of the Sabiha Gokcen Airport in Istanbul, during the alleged coup attempt on July 15, 2016, according to Turkey Now.

The 24 people, who were accused by the Turkish authorities of trying to seize the airport during the coup attempt, were retried, after cassation decisions issued by the Supreme Court.

 

Some 21 of the accused were released, however, based on the objection of the Public Prosecutor and the Presidential Attorney, who were an interfering party in the case; the 23rd High Criminal Court in Istanbul decided to arrest the 21 accused again.

 

Egypt’s United National Organization for Human Rights said in 2019 that the Turkish President had violated human rights of the Turkish people as nearly 10,000 citizens had been forcibly disappeared, the largest number worldwide.
