Turkey lifted the state of emergency that had been in effect for two years in the country since the violent and abortive coup d'état attempt in 2016. The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, however, is preparing to introduce new anti-terrorist laws clbadified by the government as necessary to deal with ongoing security threats.
The opposition to Erdogan, in turn, insists that the legislation provided will be as oppressive as the emergency powers that it will replace.
Failure to prolong the state of emergency, which would initially last three months and was renewed seven times by the Turkish President was a promise of the Erdogan campaign for the early elections held in June.
A committee of the Turkish parliament has scheduled an agenda to discuss the government's legislative proposals which, among other things, would allow the authorities to promote mbad dismissals of civil servants and detain some suspects in police custody until 12 days.
Under the state of emergency, Turkey has arrested more than 75,000 people for alleged links with the American religious Fethullah Gülen, whom Ankara accuses of the failed attempt suddenly. Some 130,000 civil servants have been exempted from public employment for their alleged links to terrorist organizations. (Associated Press)
