A new website has recently been launched to publish stories or Turkish president Erdogan’s with-hunt, persecution and brutal crack-down on the dissents. The new website is named “Magduriyetler” (Victimization), which aims to disseminate the stories of the countless violations of law after the coup attempt in July 2016.

“Magduriyetler” publishes confirmed news and stories of victims as well as “unsolved murders,” which are mainly highly suspicious deaths in prisons. Its language is Turkish.

A brutal witch-hunt and purge has been carried on against sympathizers of Islamic scholar Fethullah Gulen and other groups -Kurds, Alevis, seculars, etc.- as they reject blindly obeying Erdogan’s one man rule ambition in Turkey.

More than a hundred thousand has been purged after the coup attempt, including thousands of academics, judges and prosecutors, teachers, soldiers… even nurses and midwives with the alleged claim that they were part of the coup attempt.

Hundred of companies were confiscated by the states. Close to 200 media outlets were shut down and the rest has been silenced.

More then 40 thousands people are in the jail that caused separation of families.

Human rights violations, abuse and torture have become ordinary in Turkish prisons according to international reports.

Those who lost their jobs are not able to find any job, even in the private sector; they were thrown out of their rentals by landlords; many were rejected by their immediate families. All have been doomed to starvation by Erdogan regime.

Erdogan’s counsels justify these inhumane treatments to their fellow brothers and sisters in religion, in race and in humanity.

Erdoğan’s way: scare, divide and rule

The last straw [man] by Erdoğan came this week when a draft version of a law seeking the closure of all kinds of privately established prep schools (dershanes) leaked to the media. The bill is so drastic that even private tutoring for kids at homes by parents is banned. The intrusive move is seen as a huge blow to free enterprise and the right to education, prompting concerns that the closure of these schools will block upward mobility in Turkish society.

Certain groups devised an imaginary and ambiguous crime against the Hizmet movement based on claims of a so-called “parallel state.” However, this is such a vague crime that if those who blame the Hizmet movement for establishing a “parallel state” are accused of the same thing, these charges will seem well-founded, because of ambiguity of the claims.
