記者、學者及航空人員成土耳其鎮壓新目標

Turkey targeted journalists, academics and airline workers Monday in its ongoing crackdown on people allegedly linked to the exiled Muslim cleric it says directed the failed military coup against the Ankara government.

Turkish authorities issued warrants for the detention of 42 journalists, took 31 academics into custody and fired 211 workers at Turkish Airlines.

Turkey also detained three fugitive soldiers on suspicion of taking part in an attack on a hotel in the Aegean Sea resort of Marmaris where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was vacationing when the putsch unfolded on July 15. Erdogan has said that if he waited 15 minutes more before fleeing the hotel he would have been killed or taken hostage. Four other soldiers are still on the run.

State-run news agency Anadolu said prominent writer Nazli Ilicak is among the journalists wanted for questioning. He has been critical of Erdogan and opposed his government clampdown on followers of Fethullah Gulen, the 75-year-old cleric who has been living in the eastern U.S. state of Pennsylvania since 1999.

Ankara has blamed Gulen for the uprising that left about 290 people dead and demanded his extradition. Washington says it is considering documents Turkey sent about Gulen's alleged involvement in the failed coup, but has made no commitment to return him.星期一，土耳其繼續對涉嫌與一名流亡穆斯林教士有牽連的人進行鎮壓，矛頭指向記者、學者和航空人員。土耳其稱這一流亡教士操縱了針對安卡拉政府的未遂軍事政變。

土耳其當局對42名記者頒發了逮捕令，拘押了31名學者，解僱了土耳其航空公司的211名員工。

土耳其還拘禁了3名逃亡後被抓捕的士兵，他們涉嫌參與了對愛琴海渡假勝地馬爾馬里斯一家旅店的襲擊。7月15日政變發生時，土耳其總統埃爾多安正在那裏渡假。埃爾多安說，如果他再多等15分鐘逃離旅店，就可能被打死或抓爲人質。另外4名士兵仍在逃。

土耳其官方新聞機構阿納多盧通訊社說，著名作家伊利卡也在被通緝接受訊問的人之列。他一直以來都對埃爾多安持批評態度，並且反對他的政府嚴厲打壓穆斯林教士居倫的追隨者。現年75歲的居倫自1999年以來一直居住在美國東部的賓夕法尼亞州。

土耳其當局指責居倫操縱了導致約290人喪生的政變，並要求美國將其引渡回國。美國表示，正在審議土耳其送交的有關居倫涉嫌參與未遂政變的材料，但沒有承諾將其引渡。
