Amnesty International has published a statement indicating that detainees in Turkey are being tortured amid the spate of arrests after the July 15 failed coup, the Euro News website reports today (July 25, 2016).
"Amnesty International has gathered credible evidence that detainees in Turkey are being subjected to beatings and torture, including rape, in official and unofficial detention centers in the country," the statement reads.
"The organization is calling for independent monitors to be given immediate access to detainees in all facilities in the wake of the coup attempt, which include police headquarters, sports centers, and courthouses."
Amnesty International's Europe director John Dalhuisen said.... "The grim details that we have documented are just a snapshot of the abuses that might be happening in places of detention."
