"Une cinquantaine de journalistes politiquement incorrects et d'opposants au régime ont été arrêtés et sont gardés indéfiniment en "détention provisoire" sans qu'aucune charge n'ait été portée contre eux. "
"Là, je suis vraiment choqué. Si vous pouviez donner vos sources. C'est inacceptable et il est nécessaire de nous éclaircir sur cette information."Sur ce point, je fais référence à l'affaire "Deep State", qui a occupé les pages des journaux turcs pendant des semaines. A ma connaissance, il y a eu 86 personnes arrêtées dont plus de la moitié ne sont toujours pas passées en jugement selon des infos récentes; bien entendu, il y a aussi de nombreuses arrestations de kurdes soupçonnés (à tort ou à raison) d'appartenir au PKK. La détention "provisoire durable" , vous le savez, n'est hélas pas seulement le fait de pays comme la Turquie, voir Guantanamo.
Je vous donne donc pour information ces quelques liens (et extraits) parmi beaucoup d'autres:
D'abord, un extrait d'un des liens abordant les arrestations et détentions arbitraires d'opposants en Turquie (les soulignages sont de mon fait):
http://www.wsw.org/articles/2008/jul2008/turk-j07.shtml" Some papers also pointed to the fact that some of those arrested have been detained for months without official charges. Yusuf Kanli of the Turkish Daily News asked, “What kind of a probe is this, that people are placed behind bars without a charge for so many months and a witch-hunt has been continuing for the past year, pro-government media and pen-slingers of the government have published glossy books about the activities of the ‘gang’ and even some of the alleged testimonies of the accused?”
Kanli also pointed to the fact that the latest arrests were timed to coincide with the court case against the AKP. The arrests took place just hours before the Supreme Court of Appeals’ chief prosecutor presented his oral arguments for banning the governing party. Kanli asked: “Is the prime minister the ‘spokesman’ of the prosecutor’s office regarding the ‘Ergenekon case’ or is there a ‘political connection’ aimed at taking ‘revenge’ for the closure case against the ruling AKP?”
Et un extrait d'un article paru dans
le Wall Street Journal, et visible sur ce lien ci-dessous, qui liste certaines violations et abus antidémocratiques d'Erdogan et de l'AKP que je n'avais pas mentionnés dans mon premier post, et aussi le fait que l'AKP recevrait de l'argent de l'Arabie saoudite:
http://threatswatch.org/rapidrecon/2006 ... he-debate/"The two sides of this debate were on feature in two recent op-eds in the Wall Street Journal. The first, Mr. Erdogan's Turkey, Michael Rubin, a Middle East scholar, argued that
the AKP posed a threat to Turkish democracy, and was slyly and slowly but steadily eroding the country's independent institutions. Rubin argues:
...Over the party's four-year tenure, Mr. Erdogan has spoken of democracy, tolerance and liberalism, but waged a slow and steady assault on the system. He endorsed, for example, the dream of Turkey's secular elite to enter the European Union, but only to embrace reforms diluting the checks and balances of military constitutional enforcement...
The assault on the secular education system has been subtle but effective. Traditionally, students had three choices: enroll at religious academies (so-called Imam Hatips) and enter the clergy; learn a trade at vocational schools; or matriculate at secular high schools, attend university and pursue a career. Mr. Erdogan changed the system: By equating Imam Hatip degrees with high-school degrees, he enabled Islamist students to enter university and qualify for government jobs without ever mastering Western fundamentals. He also sought to bypass checks and balances. After the Higher Education Board composed of university rectors rejected his demands to make universities more welcoming of political Islam, the AKP-dominated parliament proposed to establish 15 new universities. While Mr. Erdogan told diplomats his goal was to promote education, Turkish academics say the move would enable him to handpick rectors and swamp the board with political henchmen...
Such tactics have become commonplace. At Mr. Erdogan's insistence and over the objections of many secularists, the AKP passed legislation to lower the mandatory retirement age of technocrats. This could mean replacement of nearly 4,000 out of 9,000 judges. Turks are suspicious that the AKP seeks to curtail judicial independence. In May 2005, AKP Parliamentary Speaker Bülent Arinç warned that the AKP might abolish the constitutional court if its judges continued to hamper its legislation. Mr. Erdogan's refusal to implement Supreme Court decisions levied against his government underline his contempt for rule of law. Last May, in the heat of the AKP's anti-judiciary rhetoric, an Islamist lawyer protesting the head scarf ban shouted "Allahu Akbar," opened fire in the Supreme Court and murdered a judge. Thousands attended his funeral, chanting pro-secular slogans. Mr. Erdogan was absent from the ceremony.
There have been other subtle changes. Mr. Erdogan has replaced nearly every member of the banking regulatory board with officials from the Islamic banking sector. Accusations of Saudi capital subsidizing AKP are rampant..."

- la crise économique
- la dérive autoritaire de son régime, les Turcs, même ceux qui ont voté pour lui, commencent à se plaindre du resserrement de l'étau AKP autour de la société turque. Erdogan peut soit lâcher du lest, soit se radicaliser, un peu comme en Iran. C'est un homme beaucoup plus retors qu'Ahmadinejad, jusque là il a très bien compris quand il fallait reculer tactiquement et quand il pouvait se permettre d'avancer ses pions.
