Istanbul anti-terror prosecutors issued arrest warrants for 42 journalists as part of the investigation into the failed coup, the state-run Anadolu news agency said. The president has told his supporters to remain in the streets until further notice, warning of the danger of another coup. Erdogan supporters late Sunday kept up a "vigil" for democracy ordered by the president by filling city squares across the country. Erdogan's government had been under fire even before the failed putsch for restricting press freedoms in Turkey, accusations the authorities strongly deny. The government blamed the 2013 corruption scandal on Gulen, with some officials at the time calling it a coup bid aimed at ousting the president.
