Amnesty International on Thursday criticised what it called the "shameful" treatment of Turkish civil servants who were dismissed after the 2016 failed overthrow of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Almost 130,000 public sector workers were fired by decree during a post-coup state of emergency because of their alleged links to the plotters, terrorist organisations or other groups posing a threat to national security. Those who believe they were wrongfully sacked can apply to a special commission to have their case reviewed and either be reinstated or compensated.
However, Amnesty said many were fired with no explanations given, therefore making it hard to challenge the dismissals.
A majority are still "awaiting justice" and face "an uncertain future", Amnesty said, adding that so far only 6,000 had returned to their jobs.
