Ten thousand Turkish soldiers ‘involved in coup plot’ are being starved, raped and beaten in ‘unofficial detention centres’
thesun.co.uk
AROUND 10,000 Turkish troops have been detained and raped, starved and left without water for days, according to Amnesty International.
The group claim that the detainees, who were imprisoned after the failed military coup, are being held in stables and sports halls.
In a statement the Human Rights campaigners say they have ‘credible evidence’ that the detainees are being beaten and tortured, in official and unofficial detention centres across the country.
Amnesty International’s Europe director, John Dalhuisen: “Reports of abuse including beatings and rape in detention are extremely alarming, especially given the scale of detentions that we have seen in the past week.
“The grim details that we have documented are just a snapshot of the abuses that might be happening in places of detention.”
The group has called for immediate access to prisoners after the coup a week ago which sparked a brutal crackdown and a three-month state of emergency...
Dalhuisen said: “It is absolutely imperative that the Turkish authorities halt these abhorrent practices and allow international monitors to visit all these detainees in the places they are being held.”
