Turkey extended its post-coup state of emergency three more months this week, shortly after voters narrowly approved a referendum to amend the constitution and expand President Erdogan's powers.
U.S. President Donald Trump congratulated Erdogan on his referendum victory, but many European Union leaders fear the impending constitutional changes will further erode human rights and free speech in Turkey and muzzle the opposition.
More than 50,000 people have been arrested during a yearlong crackdown since last year's coup. In addition, 110,000 civil servants, members of the military and law-enforcement agencies were dismissed for either participating in the coup or actively sympathizing with the plotters.
土耳其关押了六名人权活动人士,包括国际特赦在土耳其的负责人,罪名是帮助恐怖分子。
警方7月5日对王子岛一家旅馆发动突袭,逮捕了这六个人,当时他们正在参加一个数字安全研讨会。伊斯坦布尔一家法院星期二裁决,这六人继续关押,等待开庭。
除了国际特赦在土耳其的负责人艾德尔·伊瑟外,被捕的还有德国和瑞士人权工作者。
土耳其媒体报道说,这六个人被控跟库尔德、左翼激进分子,以及流亡的穆斯林教士居伦领导的运动成员有联系。居伦一度曾是土耳其总统埃尔多安的亲密盟友,如今已是土耳其政府通缉名单的首犯。
