ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR TORTURE IN TURKEY AND THE FAILED COUP ATTEMPT IN 2016
After the failed coup attempt on 15 July 2016, Erdoğan government accuses the Hizmet movement with carrying out failed coup attempt which Hizmet movement always denied the accusation.
Since the failed coup attempts in 2016, the Erdogan government put at least 77 thousand people in jail and detentions and arrests still continue ceaselessly.
Recently, Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu stated that 550,000 people are subject to investigations due to their connection with the Hizmet Movement in Turkey.
Among these 190,000 people were detained or arrested.
Currently, about 37,000 people are in Turkey’s prisons because of their connection with the movement.
After the failed coup attempt, human rights violations, torture and mistreatment of members of Hizmet movement are widespread in Turkey.
Many international organizations and non-governmental organizations documented torture and mistreatment cases.
