NJW Statement on The Mass Issuance of Arrest Warrants for Over 400 in Connection with The Alleged Use of The Bylock Messaging App

Northern Justice Watch is deeply concerned by the ongoing mass arrests and dismissals in Turkey, targeting thousands of individuals accused of using the ByLock messaging app, alleged by the Turkish government to be linked to the Gülen movement. This widespread crackdown, which so far has resulted in the detention of approximately 40,000 individuals and the suspension or dismissal of over 100,000 public servants, raises significant concerns about the violation of both domestic and international law.
