Turkey has issued arrest warrants for 100 former police officers as part of the government\u2019s widening crackdown following last year\u2019s attempted coup.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tSo far, 63 of the former officers have been detained pursuant to the arrest warrants, which were issued on Saturday, state-run Anadolu news agency reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tSecurity forces are searching for the suspects in 19 Turkish provinces, the report said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe suspects are believed to be users of ByLock, an encrypted messaging app which Ankara says was used by the network of the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom the government accuses of having orchestrated last July’s aborted coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, an allegation that the self-exiled opposition leader vehemently denies.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\n\tTurkey has called on the US to extradite Gulen, but the demand has not been taken heed of.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurkey, which remains in a state of emergency since the coup, has been engaged in suppressing the media and opposition groups suspected to have played a role in the failed coup.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Tuesday, Turkish police launched an operation across seven provinces to arrest 70 military personnel over their alleged links to Gulen.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurkey has suspended or dismissed more than 150,000 judges, policemen, teachers, and civil servants and has arrested nearly 50,000 others in the post-coup crackdown.<\/p>\n

\n\tMany rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have denounced Ankara\u2019s heavy clampdown on perceived putschists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
