Turkey detains 35,000 over coup bid

More than 35,000 people have been detained in Turkey following last month's failed coup attempt.

Turkish authorities have detained a total of 35,022 people in relation to last month's abortive coup attempt, a senior Turkish official says.

Just over half of those detained, or 17,740 people, have since been formally arrested, the official said on Thursday.

A further 11,597 people have been released while 5685 remain in custody, the official said.
