터키 대통령 국가 장악력 강화, 반대파 색출지속
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogen has signed a decree extending the period that some suspects in the recent coup attempt can be detained.
As of Saturday, the maximum period authorities can hold suspects before charging them is extended to 30 days from 4,... a move criticized by human rights groups.
It also orders the closure of of institutions suspected of having ties to Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based cleric accused of masterminding the failed coup.
Gulen however denied any prior knowledge of the attempted takeover.
The closures would affect more than 1-thousand private schools and 12-hundred foundations and charities.
Those include 35 medical institutions, 19 unions, and 15 universities.
The government argues the measure is necessary to prevent further unrest and insists it will only target those immediately associated with the plot.
But there are concerns the crackdown has been widened to root out all potential sympathisers of Gulen’s movement.
