European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has warned Turkey it should not be using democratic institutions to undercut human rights, the Euro News website reports today (July 22, 2016).
In the wake of a failed coup, Mogherini said, "There is no excuse, there is no way in which the reaction can undermine fundamental freedoms and rights."
"What we are seeing, especially in the fields of universities, media, the judiciary, is unacceptable," she added.
Tens of thousands of people have been suspended, detained, or placed under investigation in Turkey since last week's attempted coup.
