Turkey: 100+ Media Outlets Shut Down by Gov't Since Failed Coup
---------------------------------------------------------------

Turkey's government has dismissed nearly 1,700 military personnel and
closed more than 130 media outlets since a failed coup earlier this
month. That number includes nearly half of all Turkish generals and
admirals. Human rights groups have also reported widespread arrests and
torture of suspected coup sympathizers.
