New maxi-operation in Turkey against suspects affiliated to Fethullah Gulen's alleged network. The Antalya prosecutor in the south of the country has issued 99 arrest warrants against people accused of having downloaded ByLock, the smartphone messaging app that, according to investigators, was used by 'Guleners' to exchange encrypted information.
Among the sought after, there are doctors, lawyers, teachers and traders.
At least 78 are already finished in handcuffs in the morning.
From the failed putsch of July 15, 2016, there are more than 50,000 people arrested in Turkey under the state of emergency.

It's honestly depressing to see what's happening to Turkey. Such potencial, wasted.

As long as there is Erdogan there will always be this.

I agree, unfortunately. It seems to be either religious demagogue or military dictatorship in Turkey. I wonder how the westernized urban population in the coast views this.
