Kui PKK-d ei saa kuidagi nimetada gülenistideks, siis on välja töötatud alternatiivne silt: zoroastristid.Our specialist clinicians provide therapy and forensically document torture of people who have sought refuge in the UK. Turkey has consistently been one of our top 10 countries of origin for referrals and last year moved up this ignominious league table to number five.
Two months ago, our clinicians raised their concerns with me about the horrific torture they were hearing about and forensically documenting for Turkish survivors this year. Over the last 25 years we have heard and documented harrowing cases of repeated beatings and electrocutions; of the horrific rape and sexual torture endured by men and women in Turkey. All while being interrogated, often about political activity.
These types of torture are well known to have devastating consequences for mental and physical health. Our clients struggle with flashbacks, nightmares and suicidal thoughts.
Many report experiencing torture because of a real or perceived link to Kurdish causes, viewed by elements of the Turkish government as an intense threat to national security. Given the current security crisis we can expect a similarly brutal response. The removal of thousands of judges from their posts is particularly worrying in its potential to remove the opportunity for implementation of already weak protections against torture or guarantees of due process.
Siin yks akf avaldas pahameelt, et Erdogani kohta üritatakse võimalikult vaimukalt halvasti öelda. Aga vabandage väga, nad ju ise...Erdogan has also announced his intention to "cleanse the state." He wants to have parliament vote on the reintroduction of the death penalty to provide him with the ultimate punishment as he goes after those involved in the coup and he has called on Turkish citizens to occupy streets and squares across the country.
They have listened. Mostly in the evenings, thousands of demonstrators gather in prominent places, such as Ankara's Kizilay Square or Taksim Square in Istanbul. The carry mock gallows and pay homage to their leader Erdogan: "Say the word, and we'll die. Say the word, and we'll kill." Men shoot blanks and speakers incite the mob. Erdogan's loyal prime minister, Binali Yildirim, has spoken of a "holiday of democracy."
It is likely that the government will soon launch a further effort to abolish democracy. After three terms as prime minister, Erdogan was elected president in 2014. Since then, he has been pursuing the introduction of a presidential system of government, which would formally grant him almost unlimited powers.
Thus far, his efforts to do so have failed because his Justice and Development Party (AKP) has not had the necessary two-thirds majority in parliament. But in the wake of his triumph over the military, he may be tempted to hold a referendum over a constitutional amendment or to call new elections -- perhaps as early as this year.
Human rights activists have warned that a "lynch-mob sentiment" is spreading in Turkey. At the funeral of a victim of the coup, guests chanted: "We want the death penalty!" In Istanbul, Islamists assaulted people who were drinking beer in public while in several cities and towns in Anatolia, Muslim extremists have attacked churches and Alawi settlements. The deputy head of a large Turkish basketball club said of those involved in the coup: "The property and women of these sons of bitches are now the nation's spoils of war."
---Last Friday night, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg spoke with the Turkish foreign minister and then on Monday with Erdogan. In those conversations, Stoltenberg made clear how important it is that Turkey respect democratic principles -- as he did in a SPIEGEL interview a few weeks back. "NATO is based on shared values," he said in June. "Democracy, individual civil liberties and the rule of law."
But Turkey is too important to the alliance, both strategically and geopolitically, for Western politicians to be able to do all that much to counter Erdogan. In addition, Article 13 of the NATO Treaty states that a member of the alliance can leave voluntarily. "NATO has no mechanism with which to impose sanctions against its members," says one NATO official.

* tänane.Sunday's* mass event, expected to be boosted by free public transport in the city of 15 million, will seek to soothe divisions after the shock of the July 15 coup and the subsequent government crackdown.
"The Turkish republic is stronger than it was in the past," wrote Prime Minister Binali Yildirim in an editorial in the HaberTurk daily.
"Turkey is on democracy watch ... This watch continues until the anti-democratic elements are cleaned out," he said.
The number of alleged conspirators who have been rounded up has surged above 13,000 with soldiers, police, justice officials and civilians all targeted in a crackdown that has alarmed European leaders.
