Over 10,000 sacked in new Turkey post-coup purge
ANKARA: Turkey has sacked a**ther 10,000 police ******rs, judges, prosecutors and academics, according to a decree published Friday, as the state continued a purge within public services following July’s failed coup.
A total of 7,669 police were dismissed in the latest swoop on suspected coup plotters or supporters, along with 323 personnel in the gendarmerie, which looks after domestic security. A further 543 prosecutors and judges were also dismissed, bringing the total of those ******* from the judiciary to 3,390, NTV channel reported. The state’s post-coup *****down on higher education also continued, with 2,346 academics getting the sack, along with 28,000 others in education, including thousands of teachers. Turkey accuses US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen and his Hizmet movement of ordering and implementing the failed putsch which left nearly 270 dead, including 24 coup-plotters. Since then, tens of thousands of people within the judiciary, military, education system and police force have been *******, detained or arrested after being accused of links to Gulen’s movement or the coup itself. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/World...~4/BAV-LsC9CQw أكثر... |
