A/HRC/37/50/Add.2 police unit such as counter-terrorism department or intelligence department. FETÖaffiliated police officers take orders from these civilian imams, rather than their legal superiors. This was the reason why these FETÖ-linked police conducted large scale illegal wiretapping all over Turkey; they acted upon the orders of their FETÖ imams and paid no respect to their institutional superiors or legal codes. FETÖ members in the Turkish Armed Forces are also subordinate to a civilian Imam. As the military is the most important institution for the purposes of FETÖ, the Imam assigned for this post is also very important. The Organization started infiltrating to the military after 1980s. They selected poor but clever students, brainwashed them at the “Houses” and directed them to Military Schools. The organization also formed special unit imams in ÖSYM (Student Selection and Placement Center) to ensure mass staffing at the public institutions, • TİB (Telecommunications Communication Presidency) to carry out illegal interception and intelligence gathering, and • TÜBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) to control scientific and technological researches. Overseas Structuring: For every continent, the Organization has Imams responsible for the activities of the organization. Below them are Country Imams. In each country where FETÖ is active, FETÖ activities are financially supported by members from a specific Province in Turkey. For example, the cost of FETÖ activities in country A are generally borne by FETÖ members in the Turkish city of B. In return, the latter are provided with business opportunities and networks in that country. 25
