Erdogan Set To Bring Back The Death Penalty

Now that he has consolidated most power, Erdogan is reportedly going to have Parliament vote on restoring the death penalty so as to kill supposed coup-plotters:

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the government will soon submit a bill to Parliament to reinstate the death penalty amid calls for the execution of the plotters of a failed coup in July.

Addressing crowds in Ankara on Saturday, Erdogan said he would ratify such a bill once it passed despite any objections it might spark in the West.
