Turkish regime authorities issue arrest warrants against former security leaders

Ankara-Sana

The Turkish regime authorities issued arrest warrants for 12 former security directors who were dismissed during the state of emergency following the 2016 coup attempt.

The Turkish newspaper, Zaman, reported that arrest warrants were issued against 12 people who were dismissed from their work and stripped of their security ranks, under the pretext of their association with the movement of the Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen, explaining that the anti-organized crime teams of the Ankara Security Directorate started a security campaign to arrest them.

Since the coup attempt in mid-July 2016, the regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan has launched a campaign of arrests and dismissals of all public sectors, which led to the arrest of tens of thousands of opponents and the expulsion or suspension of work of about 150,000 government employees, members of the army, police, judiciary, media and others.
