CHP submits parliamentary question on anti-Hizmet plot

The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) submitted a parliamentary question on Tuesday concerning an order for a police probe targeting the faith-based Hizmet movement.

Order for Hizmet probe is political, not legal, say rights activists

A human rights expert has drawn attention to the possibility that evidence may have been fabricated against the Hizmet movement as a result of the police order for a probe into the movement, while another activist has called it a political order.

Opposition highly critical of scandalous anti-Hizmet order

Members of the opposition parties have spoken out against an order for a police probe targeting the Hizmet movement that is to include leveling a number of fictitious accusations such as linking members of the movement with several infamous assassinations committed in Turkey in the recent past.
