Meltem Güney, a 29-year old history teacher, has been put in pre-trial detention over alleged membership to Turkey’s Gülen group, accused of masterminding a coup attempt on July 15, 2016.
The movement denies any involvement.
According to Ferhat Tunç, one of Turkey’s most renowned human rights activists, tweeted on May 10 that Güney is 3 month-pregnant and had suffered miscarriage two times in the past.
Turkey survived a military coup attempt on July 15, 2016 that killed 249 people. Following the putsch, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government along with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pinned the blame on the Gülen movement, initiating a widespread purge aimed at cleansing members of the movement from within state institutions, dehumanizing its popular figures and putting them in custody.
Turkey has suspended or dismissed more than 150,000 judges, teachers, police and civil servants since July 15. On December 13, 2017 the Justice Ministry announced that 169,013 people have been the subject of legal proceedings on coup charges since the failed coup.
Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu announced on April 18, 2018 that the Turkish government had jailed 77,081 people between July 15, 2016 and April 11, 2018 over alleged links to the Gülen movement.
Tarih Öğretmeni Meltem Güney
3 aylık hamile ve İzmir’de tutuklanmış. Üstelik daha önce 2 kere de düşük geçirmiş birisi. Bu acımasızlığı tarif etmekte zorlanıyorum. Bu gayri insani duruma dikkat çekmek insan olmanın gereğidir. Meltem Güney derhal serbest bırakılmalıdır. pic.twitter.com/Cmx2NDslfT— FERHAT TUNÇ (@ferhatttunc) May 10, 2018
