The Turkish prosecutors issued detention warrants for 140 members of the country's Constitutional Court and 48 members of the Supreme Court over their alleged involvement in a military coup in the country, local media reported on Saturday.
According to the NTV broadcaster, ten out of 188 judges have been detained so far.
Late on Friday, Turkish authorities said that an attempted coup is taking place in the country. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Turkish citizens to take to streets, stating that the coup attempt was carried out by a small group within the military.
The coup attempt was reportedly suppressed by early Saturday, with Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim stating that all coup supporters were identified and would be apprehended as the country was returning to normal life. Over 180 people were killed and 1,470 were injured during the events, while nearly 3,000 people have already been detained, according to the prime minister.
