203 more judges, prosecutors dismissed in Turkey
Turkey’s top judicial body, the Supreme Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK), has dismissed 203 more judges and prosecutors over alleged ties to the faith-based Gulen movement, AzVision.az reports citing the Turkish media.
The movement is accused by the government of masterminding a failed coup attempt on July 15.

The list of the expelled judges and prosecutors was published in the Official Gazette on Thursday. Turkey’s Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said on November 10 that the HSYK expelled 3,456 judges and prosecutors over Gulen links since the coup attempt.
