According to the report, Sağındık was accused of membership in the Gülen movement, which was declared a terrorist organization by the Recep Tayyip Erdogan government following a failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016. Eight of Sağındık’s tweets that question the failed coup attempt and criticize a purge, detentions and witch hunt carried out by the government targeting critics, including journalists, were listed as evidence of membership in a terrorist organization. * |
