Thousands of Turkey coup prisoners '? , starved and hogtied'

7/24/2016

Amnesty International says it has ‘credible evidence’ Turkish police are holding detainees, denying them food, water and medical treatment and in the worst cases some have been subjected to severe beatings and torture.

Turkish troops imprisoned after the failed military coup are being ? , starved and left without water for days, it is claimed.

Many of the 10,000 detainees are locked up in horses’ stables and sports halls - some hogtied in horrific stress positions, according to human rights campaigners.


--Erdogan is an American ally and Turkey is a NATO member lol....along with France violating the civil rights of its own citizens, it seems the west has very little ground to stand on when it comes to Assad or anyone else.

Now, most importantly, the CIA has been involved in the Turkish Military for years. Look up 'Counter-Guerrilla.' which is the Turkish version of Operation Gladio.

Very short background, Operation Gladio was a CIA operation in which the CIA would train and fund programs which put generals in place in foreign armies that would be able to fight Communism. These generals were also always on Americas side.

In Turkey, this was called Counter-Guerrilla. They would cause strife and unease amongst all minorities and leftists in Turkey. This would help the military always remain in control. These counter guerrilla is what Erdogan calls the Deep State. They are all top generals and have infiltrated the Turkish Intelligence for years. They created groups called the Grey Wolves and JITEM that has been terrorizing Kurds for years. The reason was because Kurds were always a part of socialist movements and revolutions, the biggest fear of a communist regime in the middle east came from the Kurds because they were always Secular. Other peoples, including Turks, are highly Islamic and religion and communism was always incompatible.

Anyway, since the late 60s, Turkish politicians have been trying to rid this American influence our of their military. Everytime they came close, a military coup took place. Everytime someone would start a congressional investigation, they got assasinated. Every time the opposing political parties tried to open a investigation, the political power in charge votes it down, regardless of which party was in power. Presidents who have talked about it were either assasinated or had assasination attempts right after they mentioned it.

Now with this coup, once it failed, Erdogan purged all these Generals that were a part of this Operation Gladio.

So Erdogan has accomplished what no other Turkish politician was able too and got even more power. Crazy

Btw, Operation Gladio and Counter-Guerrilla isnt some conspiracy. This happened and happens in many countries, Turkey is just one example. Yall could look it up.

@AZTG I started feeling the same way when Erdogan started firing all of his opponents. Thousands of them. Made me think that he had a list of folks to get rid of if the opportunity ever presented itself.

Then his opportunity pops up and now he has more personal power than any other non military installed politician since what, Atatürk?

That's crazy also about the plot to bomb the prison Apo is in. Would have made an already messy situation way more so

The thing with Apo is that nobody has been able to visit him in prison since the coup attempt. Reports came out that the coup perpetrators wanted to bomb his prison, and who knows, they actually might have. Erdogans govt hasnt been able to give a clear answer on if Apo is ok or not.

Anybody that knows Turkish politics and society knows that the only other person aside from Erdogan that could bring Turkish society down to its knees is Apo. If reports come out that Apo died, the streets of Turkey will burn.

Before Apo got jailed, Apo was the PKK. He really is a mythical figure for Kurds and the person that holds the most power over the Kurds. When Apo got caught, experts figured that would be the end of Apo, but instead, Apo became a stand alone figure of influence. If you ask the Kurds in Turkey, they will say that the Kurdish movement has 3 interdependent but independent heads. These are in order of power, Apo, the PKK, and the HDP. Whenever the Kurds talks about a peace processes they say that it must be something Apo, the PKK and the HDP seperatly must agree with, but the PKK and HDP will never dare to go against Apo because 1. They also hold him in as high regard as a religion might hold a prophet, but 2. And more importantly, the pkk and hdp will lose status and influence in a second if they go against Apo.

The Turkish state put more power in Apos hand then they actually wanted too. They figured they could control Apo in prison and in doing so control the Kurds. They put all this pressure on whatever was going on and pushed the narrative that only Apo can stop the Kurds from fighting the state, and made Apo more influential then he already was, the issue is that this back fired when Apo didnt do what the state asked. So, ever since the conflict with the PKK started, no one has been allowed to see Ocalan. For the Kurds, this is concerning, but its something they were used too.

But now, after reports came out that the coup perpetrators wanted to bomb Apos prison, the Kurds are getting restless. If it turns out that Apo is killed, there will, unfortunately, be riots and war in Turkey like it has never been before. Im hoping that doesnt happen.

But do you see the metanarrative or nah?
