Police conducted raids in a dozen Turkish cities Sunday, detaining at least 24 people, including journalists, TV producers and police known to be close to a movement led by a Pennsylvania-based moderate Islamic cleric who is a strong critic of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
It was the latest crackdown on cleric Fethullah Gulen's movement, which the government has accused of orchestrating an alleged plot to try to bring it down.
The government says the group's followers were behind corruption allegations that last year that forced four Cabinet ministers to resign.
Gulen, who lives in self-imposed exile in Saylorsburg, Monroe County, denies the accusations.
During a speech on Saturday, Erdogan vowed to ``bring down the network of treachery and make it pay.''
