Since July 15, 2016, hundreds of thousands of people in Turkey have been erased from public life by decree — without trial, without evidence, without end. These are the issues we document, and the evidence behind each one.
Turkey's state of emergency was formally lifted in 2018, but its machinery was folded into ordinary law and its victims left in permanent limbo. What began as a single night has become a decade-long architecture of exclusion — one continuous story told across the three records below.
The night that became the pretext for the largest peacetime purge in modern Turkish history — from lists prepared in advance, with the force of law and no judicial review.
Ten years after the coup attempt, the purge never ended: dismissals without trial, prosecutions without evidence, and a free press switched off — documented, by the numbers.
A live broadcast marking 3,650 days since the first emergency decrees — 3,650 days of "sosyal ölüm," the civil death imposed on the dismissed and their families. Watch, remember, and stand with the silenced.
