"Law is Suspended": Turkish Lawyers Report Abuse of Coup Detainees
(Washington Post) Loveday Morris - Thousands of people taken into custody since Turkey's attempted coup are being held in sports facilities and stables, where some have been beaten and mistreated, according to lawyers familiar with the cases. Lawyers from the Ankara Bar Association's human rights commission report clients complained about a lack of food and that their hands have been bound for days. The mistreatment is "systematic." The Turkish government strongly denies the allegations.
