ANKARA — Prosecutors have charged 13 military personnel as part of an investigation into the illegal obstruction of National Intelligence Organization (MİT) trucks in Adana on Jan. 19, 2014, demanding a life sentence for the offenders. The raid was widely reviled by the public and the government. In a recent statement, the Adana Public Prosecution Office indicated that the investigation regarding the stopping and raiding of the MİT trucks has been completed."The MİT members in charge of the aforementioned activity were unlawfully spied on, and their phone numbers, identity and address information were obtained to launch a fabricated investigation to wiretap them," the statement read, which noted it was evident that the trucks were unlawfully stopped based on this fabricated investigation, which had been pre-planned by Gülenist prosecutors. The names of military personnel have been identified and are accused of "obtaining, secrets of the state with the purpose of political or military spying in line with Article 328/1 of the Turkish Penal Code, demanding 15-20 years in prison," and "exposing secrets of the state with the purpose of political or military spying in line with Article 330/1 of the Turkish Penal Code, demanding a life sentence." On the other hand, three gendarmerie officials who were also suspects were released on the grounds of lack of evidence. Critics note the raid was planned and administered by agents of the Gülen Movement and refer to the jammer that was placed in the area where the operation was conducted. They argue the sole purpose of this was to stop MİT officials' communications links that could have stopped the raids. Three of MİT's trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Syria on Jan. 19 were stopped and raided by agents of the Gülen Movement within the judiciary and security forces in Adana. MİT officials were maltreated, assaulted and handcuffed in a similar fashion as terrorists by these agents contrary to the law and outside their authoritative boundaries.
