ISTANBUL, (APP/AFP) – Turkey can hold suspects
in detention without charge for up to 30 days under its state of
emergency imposed in the wake of the failed coup aimed at ousting
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, an official statement said on Saturday.
The suspects can be held for up to 30 days before being taken
to a judge to decide whether to remand them in custody, said an
announcement in the official gazette, where all laws and decrees
appear when they come into force.
