[Al Jazeera] A Kilic had been in prison since June 2017, when he was jugged Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! for allegedly having links to a group accused of being behind the 2016 attempted coup. "It's a great victory for the human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... movement in ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... and it's gonna give us more strength to go on and campaign for the acquittal of everyone in this case," Andrew Gardner, senior adviser on Turkey for "We're all incredibly happy. This is what we campaigned for, for the last eight months." Family members and colleagues were on the way to Izmir, the city where Kilic was being held. Authorities say Kilic was using ByLock, an encrypted communication software which the government says is used by members of a group led by Fethullah Gülen ... 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... , a US-based, self-exiled religious leader who the government blames for last year's coup attempt. |
