EU Warns Turkey Over Death Penalty After Coup
Turkey has been warned if it brings back the death penalty all negotiations to join the European Union are off.
EU chief Jean Claude Juncker also said the country is in no position to become a member of the bloc “any time soon” following the attempted coup.
His comments come after Preisdent Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched a crackdown detaining thousands of soldiers, police, judges, teachers and civil servants.
Amnesty International has claimed it has received “credible evidence” of detainees being beaten, tortured and raped.
