Turkey arrested nearly 200 over Gulen links

MojNews- Turkish police on Tuesday detained ۱۸۱ people suspected of ties to a group blamed for a ۲۰۱۶ coup attempt, the Ankara public prosecutor’s office said.
The detentions came after the capital’s public prosecutor issued arrest warrants for 260 suspects accused of using the encrypted ByLock messaging application which authorities believe was used to coordinate the coup bid.

Another 18 suspects, including 10 doctors, were sought in a second probe.
Officers have so far detained ۱۷۱ people in Ankara and another ۱۰ suspects elsewhere, the office said without giving details.
Tens of thousands have been arrested over alleged ties to US-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen who Ankara says ordered the failed coup. Gulen denies this.
Since the failed overthrow of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan , authorities have also sacked or suspended over ۱۴۰,۰۰۰ public sector workers over suspected links to Gulen.
