        The consulate tells them they need to go back to TR for questioning & that the consulate will provide travel dox for that purpose & that they'll get their passport back upon their return. What guarantee do they have that they will not be jailed, say over a tweet?

        This just happened to somebody I know and it was over a tweet. He is stuck now in the UK unable to travel because he has no other nationality or passport.

        Great that I have my German passport and live in Germany. My parents keeps receiving my court summons for questioning in connection to court case regarding my tweets. But I can spend my holidays in Rhodes(Greece) take a ferry from there to Turkish coastal cities. That’s what I do

        Good morning after supper. This has been going out for Cemaat members for 5 years now and it is now catching up with seculars. What were you thinking when you were supporting Erdogan's FETO rhetoric???

        Could not have said it better myself. Those who enabled te persecution of others may be shocked when one day they are persecuted and no one stands up for them either. #Irony

        Your baseline is the real #irony As if the Cemaat did not oversee any persecution itself. You should be addressing that critique to yourselves before you hurl rocks from your glass houses #Whataboutism

        If the Cemaat was responsible for all the misdeeds of 2002-12 era, it should also take the credit of all good deeds. When I turn back and glance that decade from my glass house, I become proud of my community because you cannot even compare those days with what's going on today.

        Many, many Turkish passport holders are being stopped either coming in or out of Turkey & find themselves jailed & charged with serious ‘terrorism’ charges for simple innocuous things like Facebook post or ‘liking’ a post or tweet! Many friends jailed for many years!!! #Turkey

        The biggest detention camp is in Cyprus covering an area of 3423 sq km. Turkey set this camp up in 1974 and since then 93000 Turkish Cypriots are hostages of the 220000 illegal settlers and the ones who sent them, Turkey. Mr Erdogan today criticized China for the Uygur camps pic.twitter.com/Ftf3YgAlxe

        Why would you a carry the passport of a country you would like to see fall anyway? Gulenists deserve more than that anyway

        Bazı ülkelerde, insan davranışına ilişkin sıkılaştırıcı gereklilikler, sözleriyle de dahil olmak üzere yasalar kabul edilmektedir. Ahlak, görgü kuralları her zaman herhangi bir kültürün temel kurallarıdır.
