The EU commissioner dealing with Turkey’s long-stalled bid for membership of the bloc expressed concerns over continued arrests in Turkey after the failed coup attempt, Sky news reported.
He urged Turkey to protect the rule of law as it cracks down after the failed coup.
Judges and military commanders are among 6,000 people who were arrested over the weekend as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vows to stamp out the “virus” of the coup plotters.
Johannes Hahn said it appeared that the government had already prepared a list before the coup of people to be rounded up.
“I mean, (that) the lists are available already after the event indicates that this was prepared and at a certain moment should be used,” Hahn said.
