The ten Cumhuriyet newspaper staff members who have now been on remand for over four months without any credible, concrete charges being made against them and with no indictment having been drafted, are taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights. There is an article about it on the paper's English-language website:

Erdoğan needs Mafia gangsters to do his dirty work for him. Says it all. Meanwhile the leader of the small Islamist Saadet party has come out in a scathing attack on Erdoğan and his crime sydicate - sorry, so-called political party - in a recent speech.

It seems that police intervened violently against even the above and broke it up. Seems there's no room in Erdoğan's fascist Turkey for anything but adulation of the 'great' leader.
