HRW: Accusation of Terrorism to Gulen Movement is Baseless

Fethullah GulenThe Human Rights Watch’s latest world report states that there is no evidence to prove the charges of “terrorism” held against the Gulen movement.

The report titled “World Report 2016: ‘Politics of Fear’ Threatens Rights” was released on Wednesday morning in İstanbul.

“The AK Party government in 2015 continued efforts to purge the police and judiciary of alleged supporters of the Gulen Movement. During 2015, prosecutors, judges, and police officers with perceived links to the Gulen Movement were jailed and charged with plotting against the government and membership of a terrorist organization. The main evidence being cited against judges and prosecutors at the time of writing was decisions taken in the course of their professional duties rather than any evidence of criminal activity.” report said.
