Turkey coup suspects to wear brown uniforms, Erdogan says

Turkey's president says all suspected coup plotters and "terrorists" will have to wear an almond-brown uniform when they appear in court.


Recep Tayyip Erdogan said jumpsuits would be worn by those accused of involvement in the July 2016 coup plot.

Other "terrorists" would wear jackets and trousers. That term is used for followers of US-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen and for Kurdish rebels.

Last month a defendant wearing a "Hero" T-shirt appeared before a judge.

Police later detained nearly 30 people for wearing T-shirts with the word "hero" on them, the CNNTurk news channel reported.

"There will be no more coming into court wearing whatever they want," Mr Erdogan said in a speech in the eastern town of Malatya.
