Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) on Thursday abducted six Turkish nationals, one doctor and five educators, working for a group of schools affiliated with the Gülen movement and removed them to Turkey the same day.
Hailing the MIT operation during a party meeting in İstanbul on Saturday, Erdoğan said: “The one [Gülen] who fled to Pennsylvania gets into a big flap. He wonders what his end will be. You will share the same end as those in Kosovo.”
Erdogan reiterated his words during a Sunday rally saying that Gulen “will come to Turkey, too. You can escape only for some time.”
Arrest warrant issued for exiled journalist Hayko Bagdat for insulting Erdogan
Arrest warrant has been issued for exiled journalist #Hayko_Bagdat for insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Media reported March 30 that a Turkish court issued the warrant since Bagdat failed to show up for his trial over a column he wrote back in 2015.
Bagdat, in his column, claimed that Erdogan targeted journalists with his words such as “traitors,” and “collaborator of foreigners.”
Bagdat currently lives in self-exile in Berlin as hundreds of his colleagues have been jailed in Turkey very recently.
“Due to some assassination rumors, I have been living under heavy protection in Germany,” Bagdat told media.
Turkish court seeks Interpol warrant for exiled journalist #Can_Dundar
An İstanbul court on Monday issued an arrest warrant in absentia and sought an Interpol Red Notice for exiled Turkish journalist #Can_Dündar, the former editor-in-chief of the critical Cumhuriyet daily, over a story he published about Turkish intelligence trucks allegedly carrying weapons to radical groups in Syria.
Dündar had been arrested and jailed for 92 days along with colleague Erdem Gül for publishing a story on Turkish intelligence trucks carrying hidden weapons bound for Syria in early 2014. They were arrested on Nov. 26, 2015 and released on Feb. 26, 2016 pending trial following a Constitutional Court decision.
Shortly after his release and an armed attack against him, Dündar quit his position as editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet and left Turkey as scores of other journalists under pressure have done. Gül remains in the country and is free on his own recognizance while his appeal is in process.
Last March Turkey’s Supreme Court of Appeals overturned a five-year jail sentence for Dündar, saying he should instead face up to 20 years in prison on espionage charges.
The top court ruled that the lower court should have sentenced Dündar on espionage-related charges, which carry a 15 to 20-year sentence, rather than the lesser charge of disclosing confidential information. The court said Gül should be acquitted due to a lack of evidence.
Following the top court’s decision, Dündar’s dossier was sent to the İstanbul 14th High Criminal Court, which subsequently issued an arrest warrant in absentia for Dündar and also asked that Turkey’s Justice Ministry request a Red Notice from Interpol for Dündar and his extradition from Belgium.
Dündar has been living in Germany since June 2016.
Speaking to Deutsche Welle following the İstanbul court’s decision on Monday, Dündar said the court’s move is aimed at intimidating him, while he called on Interpol to examine Red Notice requests from Turkey with care because they are politically motivated.
The journalist also said he does not know why the Turkish court is seeking his extradition from Belgium and not Germany.
“I went to Belgium last week. Maybe they saw me there, I don’t know. You just get an idea about the situation of the Turkish judiciary from this,” said the journalist.

Switzerland issues arrest warrants for 2 Turkish diplomats allegedly involved in plan to kidnap businessman in Zurich: report
The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland has issued arrest warrants for two Turkish diplomats for allegedly planning to kidnap a Turkish-Swiss businessman, according to the Swissinfo news website.
Diplomatic immunity reportedly does not apply to the men, who are also accused of espionage.
The office confirmed on Monday that they will arrest the Turkish nationals upon their entry to Switzerland.

Criminal proceedings against the two diplomats have been ongoing since March 2017. They will not be granted diplomatic immunity, the foreign affairs ministry said three months ago, because the alleged crimes do not fall within the boundaries of diplomatic tasks.
The diplomats are accused specifically of having gathered political intelligence for another state and of having attempted to kidnap a Swiss businessman with Turkish roots.
The Swiss man is supposed to have been a supporter of the Gülen movement, which the Turkish regime says was responsible for a failed coup that took place in July 2016. The alleged kidnapping was attempted a month after the coup.
The Turkish foreign minister has denied the allegations.
Swiss officials had made clear to Turkish representatives that intelligence activities directed against the Turkish diaspora in Switzerland were unacceptable, the Swiss News Agency said on Monday.

Cambodian police keep Mexican-Turkish national in custody over Gülen links: report
Cambodian police have detained the Turkish-Mexican former director of a school run by the movement of US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen, who Ankara blames for a failed 2016 coup, his wife said on Friday, according to Reuters.
#Osman_Karaca, former director of #Zaman_International_School, was arrested by eight policemen while he was at a bank on Oct. 14 in the capital city of Phnom Penh, said his wife Grace Karaca, who fears he will be deported to Turkey.
“That’s the last we have heard of him,” Karaca told Reuters on Friday from Mexico, where she is living with her son.
The Mexican Embassy in Vietnam — it does not have one in Cambodia — confirmed the arrest in a letter and asked Cambodia’s Interior Ministry to provide information and let him communicate with a consul.
Cambodian Interior Ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak could not be reached for comment. Police spokesman Chhay Kim Khoeun declined to comment. Turkey’s Embassy in Phnom Penh did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Erdoğan accuses Gülen of orchestrating the coup attempt and has demanded the extradition of various people tied to Gülen’s movement — including staff at schools it funded worldwide. Gülen denies any connection with the abortive putsch.
At its peak, the Gülen movement operated schools in 160 countries, from Afghanistan to the United States. Since the coup attempt, Turkey has pressured allies to shut down Gülen-run establishments.
In Turkey’s three-year purge since the coup attempt, more than 77,000 people have been jailed pending trial and about 150,000 civil servants, military personnel and others have been sacked or suspended from their jobs.
Ankara has defended the clampdown as a necessary response to the scale of the security threat that Turkey faces, vowing to eradicate Gülen’s network.
Karaca, who was born in Turkey and holds a Mexican passport, was director of Zaman school until it was sold last year and has since been working as an educational consultant for the school, his wife said.
Nicholas Bequelin, Amnesty International’s regional director for East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific, urged the Cambodian authorities to either bring Karaca promptly before a judge or release him immediately.

Turkish Embassy in Phnom Penh files fraudulent request to extradite Mexican citizen of Turkish origin on coup charges: report by @nordicmonitor ||
The Turkish Embassy in Phnom Penh attempted to deceive Cambodian authorities to extradite Osman Karaca, a Mexican citizen of Turkish origin, due to his alleged ties to the Gülen group, the Nordic Monitor news website reported.
The Turkish government accuses the Gülen group of orchestrating a 2016 coup attempt. The latter denies any involvement.
To secure his release from detention and ward off an attempt at an illegal extradition, the Mexican Embassy in Hanoi, accredited to Cambodia, had to convey a note verbale to prove Karaca’s Mexican citizenship and attached a copy of his passport in its communication to Cambodian authorities.
Karaca was detained in Phnom Penh on Oct. 14, 2019 by the Cambodian counterterrorism police at the request of the Turkish Embassy. According to the police report, the Turkish diplomatic mission provided a false notice to the police and accused Karaca of holding a fake Mexican passport, resulting in Karaca’s detention based on the embassy’s fabricated argument. The Turkish Embassy then demanded his deportation due to the lack of an international travel document.
The Mexican foreign ministry, its diplomatic mission in Hanoi and its honorary consulate in Cambodia are currently working towards ensuring the release of Karaca, a prominent businessman who acquired Mexican citizenship in 2018. Friends from the National Autonomous University of Mexico have already launched a campaign to prevent the extradition of Karaca to Turkey.
The Mexican Embassy in Hanoi informed the Cambodian interior and foreign ministries of Karaca’s nationality status and shared a copy of his Mexican passport via the note verbale dated Oct. 15.

Cambodia: Confirm whereabouts of forcibly disappeared Turkish-Mexican national
Amnesty International has received reports that a Turkish-Mexican dual national, Osman Karaca, has been forcibly disappeared following his arrest by the Cambodian police on 14 October. Nicholas Bequelin, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific, said:
Cambodia has a shameful track record of colluding with other governments to return wanted individuals without due process.
“Cambodia has a shameful track record of colluding with other governments to return wanted individuals without due process. The Cambodian authorities must immediately confirm Osman Karaca’s fate and whereabouts, after he was last seen being taken away in a police vehicle.
“If he is in custody, he must have access to a lawyer and his family, and his safety should be ensured. The authorities must either bring him promptly before a judge or release him immediately.
“If he is forcibly returned to Turkey, he faces a very real risk of ill-treatment and further human rights abuses. Cambodia has an obligation to protect him from persecution, not collude in his abuse.”
Background
Osman Karaca is the former director of the Zaman International School in Phnom Penh. According to his wife, he was arrested by counter-terrorism police on 14 October 2019 in Phnom Penh in response to a request by the Turkish authorities to the Cambodian government. This arrest occurred in the context of an international campaign of political reprisals against Turkish nationals living abroad by the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Mr. Karaca is a dual citizen of both Turkey and Mexico.
Since Karaca’s arrest, his family members have not been provided any information as to his fate and whereabouts. There are serious concerns regarding his safety and the protection of his human rights.
