Seit dem gescheiterten Putschversuch in der Türkei kursieren Bilder von Gefangenen im Netz. Sie stellen Menschen bloß, die malträtiert werden oder wurden. Die Absicht der entwürdigenden Bilder ist eindeutig: Es geht um Demütigung und um die Erzeugung von Furcht. Menschen in der Türkei werden sich reiflich überlegen, was sie wem genau sagen. Die Bilder werden in der Türkei gesehen. Die türkischen Medien sparen nicht mit Anschauungsmaterial, so der Vorwurf, der einem Bericht von Amnesty International zu entnehmen ist.

Erdogan's crackdown on enemies just getting started after failed coup

On July 23, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan closed thousands of charities and private schools as he expanded his crackdown in the aftermath of the failed July 15 coup. A restructuring of the military is also in the cards. Kadri Gursel reports that 35% (124 of 358) of the generals and admirals in Turkey’s armed forces (TSK) have been arrested, and that the coup was “widespread” with “nationwide tentacles.” He writes that, except for the Turkish navy, “it would not be an exaggeration to estimate that between one-third and one-half of forces on the ground had joined the uprising at various levels.”

Demirtaş: ‘Turkish national front’ approach won’t solve the issues

Demirtaş spoke about the President Erdoğan inviting leaders of CHP, MHP and AKP and not sending them an invitation. Demirtaş said, “If they again want to act like HDP doesn’t exist and say they will solve the issues around a ‘Turkish national front’, that’s their prerogative, but this approach is very wrong and lacking.”

President Tayyip Erdoğan will meet with the leaders of AKP, MHP and CHP today to congratulate them on their approach to the coup attempt. But HDP, who had proposed a leaders summit before and had also signed the joint petition against the coup in the parliament, wasn’t invited to the meeting. HDP Co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş talked about this situation in his talk with a group of journalists.
