The Turkish government detained all the senior members of the country's biggest medial association on Tuesday, following a statement from the group criticizing Turkey's military offensive against Kurdish fighters in Syria. The Turkish Health Ministry also launched a lawsuit for the removal of 11 executive council members of the TTB. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the TTB "terrorist lovers"
"War is a man-made public health problem," read the statement from the Turkish Medical Association (TTB), which represents 80 percent of the country's doctors. "No to war, peace right now."
The TTB members will join 311 journalists and activists who have been arrested on terror charges for speaking out against the war.
