Turkey has issued arrest warrants for 300 members of the Presidential Guards after a failed coup attempt, CNNTurk reported Friday.
It said 283 of the guards have already been arrested and that the operation is ongoing.
Meanwhile, over 10,000 passports have been reportedly cancelled "due to flight risk."
They were accused of alleged links to the failed coup and U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who is accused of plotting the coup.
The Defense Ministry said 262 military judges and prosecutors had been sacked.
Trials for the suspects will take place at civilian courts in the Sincan district of Ankara, said Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag.
