GENEVA— The U.N. high commissioner for human rights has condemned the attempted military coup in Turkey but has raised concerns about the mass arrests and detention of thousands of people suspected of involvement in the failed military takeover.
U.N. rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said those responsible for the violence must be brought to justice, but that this must be done in accordance with the rule of law and by upholding human rights principles.
Turkish authorities have cracked down heavily on those suspected of involvement in the failed coup. Nearly 9,000 police officers and 6,000 military personnel have been dismissed. In addition, an estimated 3,000 judges have been suspended.
