Shocking photo shows dozens of soldiers bound and stripped of their uniforms in Turkish gymnasium after failed coup

A photograph has surfaced online showing dozens of Turkish soldiers huddled together naked on the floor following their surrender during the failed military coup.

The army personnel look to have been stripped of their uniform as they lay on the floor on an
indoor basketball court in Sirnak, east Turkey, handcuffed as officials loyal to the Government look over them.

The group of soldiers are a part of more than 6,000 rebels to be detained in the aftermath of the failed uprising that killed at least 250 and wounded more than 1,500.

It comes as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to purge all state institutions of supporters of an Islamist cleric his government blames for Friday's coup attempt. 

Speaking at a funeral in Istanbul on Sunday, Erdogan broke down in tears as he vowed to cleanse the country of the 'virus' of Fethullah Gulen supporters.

He said Turkey, through the justice ministry and foreign ministry, would request the extradition of the cleric, who is based in the United States, and his backers. He has denied any involvement in the coup effort.

Some 104 plotters were killed after a coup attempt to bring down the Turkish government, while 160 people - at least 41 of them police and 47 civilians - fell as 'martyrs'. - Daily Mail
