Turkish authorities are seeking up to 15 years in prison for the licence holder of ByLock, an encrypted messaging app Ankara says was used by the group it blames for an attempted military coup in 2016, state-owned Anadolu news agency said on Wednesday.
Ankara has cracked down on the network of Fethullah Gulen, a U.S.-based Muslim cleric, since the coup attempt in which some 250 people were killed. It arrested thousands of people for using or possessing Bylock, while hundreds of thousands were sacked, suspended or arrested for alleged ties to Gulen.
Five years after the failed coup, arrests of suspected Gulen supporters are still routine. Gulen has always denied any involvement. Prosecutors are seeking up to 15 years in jail for "membership of the FETO armed terrorist organisation", using Ankara's acronym for Gulen's network, it said.
