Paragraph 60
 

Since the failed coup d’état the Turkish Judiciary is in even greater difficulty. More than 3000 judges and prosecutors were summarily dismissed, including judges of the highest courts. Even the Constitutional Court was directly affected and took a judgment that led to the dismissal of two of its members. A high number of these judges and prosecutors are now under arrest.
