UN torture expert starts Turkey visit amid abuse claims
Nils Melzer, the UN's special rapporteur on torture, to investigate claims of abuse after post-coup crackdown
The UN's expert on torture was Monday beginning a week-long visit to Turkey following claims prisoners have been ill-treated in the wake of the July failed coup.
Nils Melzer, the special rapporteur on torture, arrived in Turkey on Sunday and will speak with alleged victims and inspect prison facilities, the United Nations in Ankara said.
His visit, the first by a UN torture expert to Turkey since 1998, comes a month after US-based watchdog Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused Turkish police of torturing prisoners.
The government has vehemently denied the claims, saying all those held over the 15 July coup are being treated fully in line with the law.
An estimated 37,000 people have been arrested since a rogue faction tried to topple the president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on 15 July.
