Turkey arrests 35 people for alleged links to Glen movement

Turkish police arrested 35 people on Tuesday in Ankara as part of an ongoing crackdown on suspected members of the faith-based Glen movement, according to news site TR724. reported.

Seven civil servants were among those arrested.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan has targeted followers of the Glen movement, inspired by the late Muslim cleric Fethullah Glen, since corruption investigations revealed in 2013 implicated then-Prime Minister Erdoan, as well as some members of his family and his surroundings.

Dismissing the investigations as a coup by the Glenists and a plot against his government, Erdoan labeled the movement a terrorist organization and began targeting its supporters. He intensified repression of the movement following an aborted putsch in 2016, which he accused of being the organizer. Glen and the movement have consistently denied any involvement in the coup attempt or any terrorist activity.

After the failed coup, the Turkish government declared a state of emergency and carried out a massive purge of state institutions under the pretext of fighting the coup. More than 130,000 civil servants, including 4,156 judges and prosecutors as well as more than 24,000 members of the armed forces, have been summarily dismissed from their posts for alleged membership or relations with terrorist organizations by emergency decree-laws subject to no judicial or parliamentary control.

In addition to the thousands of people imprisoned, many other supporters of the Glen movement had to flee Turkey to escape government repression.

Since the attempted coup, a total of 705,172 people have been investigated for terrorism or coup-related charges due to their alleged ties to the movement. There are currently 13,251 people in prison who are on remand or convicted of terrorism in Glen-related trials.
