Turkey Fires 100 More Judges, Prosecutors in Anti-Gulen Purge
 [An Nahar] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's judicial authorities on Friday announced the sacking of over 100 more judges and prosecutors deemed to be followers of the alleged criminal mastermind of the July 15 failed coup, in a purge that shows no sign of letting up. The Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) said that 107 judges and prosecutors were being fired in the latest wave of the purge against alleged supporters of the U.S.-based preacher Fethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... . They are also the target of an arrest warrant but it was not clear if any were tossed into the calaboose so far. Turkey accuses Gulen of criminal masterminding last year's failed bid to oust President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... but the reclusive preacher denies the charges. Some 47,000 people have been locked away Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! under the state of emergency imposed after the coup, while tens of thousands more have lost their jobs. Only last weekend, Turkey dismissed almost 4,000 public officials under the state of emergency while over 9,100 police were suspended on April 26. Posted by: Fred 2017-05-06 |
