High Council for Judges and Prosecutors

The commission formed to investigate Turkey's failed July 15, 2016 coup attempt will ask for information from the National Intelligence Agency (MİT) and the Turkish General Staff regarding the thwarted coup. 

There are over 201,000 convicts and people under arrest in Turkish prisons, according to figures released by the Justice Ministry. 

The number of convicts has decreased while the number of people under arrest has increased since a July 2016 coup attempt, according to the ministry.

It might be an underestimation to say Turkey will become a "peculiar democracy" once Turks approve constitutional amendments, which would provide the country's strongman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vast presidential powers.

Lawmakers in Turkey have approved new articles of a proposed consitutional reform package allowing for changes to the country's top judicial body, regulation of the annual budget and a switch of the government system, local media report.
