The official Anadolu agency reported yesterday that police had launched operations in 45 provinces to catch 98 active officers and 19 others who had previously been purged from the armed forces.
They are suspected of secretly communicating with members of US-based millionaire preacher Fethullah Gulen's movement using payphones.
Turkey launched a large-scale crackdown against what it calls the Fethullah Terrorist Organisation after the July 2016 coup attempt, which has seen papers closed down, opposition MPs arrested and a brutal assault on the country’s Kurds.
In Pakistan, the Human Rights Commission protested on Thursday at the arrest of the Gulen-linked former director of the PakTurk chain of private schools Mesut Kacmaz and his two daughters.
PakTurk, which was closed ahead of a May visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, denies being part of Mr Gulen’s global network of religious schools.
