The government has been urged to allow the three Turkish terror suspects currently under detention to leave to other countries, instead of deporting them to Turkey.

"If they don't want (my husband Turgay Karaman) to be here, they can send (him) to other countries but not Turkey because they (the Turkish government) will torture him," Ayse Gul Karaman told reporters outside Bukit Aman today.

Ayse claimed that at least 50 people have either died or been left to die in Turkish prisons.

Turgay's lawyer Rosli Dahlan - who is also representing another suspect Ismet Ozcelik - made the same plea.

"We hope our authorities will be very objective. If they are not involved in any terror organisation, they should be released.

"And if their presence in Malaysia is undesirable, they should be allowed to go to any country of their own choice. But they do not want to be sent to Turkey," Rosli said.

Ihsan Aslan's wife Ainnurul Aisyah Yunos had also said that she did not want her husband to be deported during a press conference yesterday.

Rosli said they would be writing to the authorities to secure Turgay and Ismet's (photo) release, failing which a judicial review would be filed.

Ihsan's lawyer was not present today, and would be meeting him on Thursday.

Turgay and Ihsan were detained by police on May 2, while Ismet was arrested on May 4.

This is the first time the men have been granted access to their lawyers and their families since they were detained.

Husbands in good condition

Ayse and Aisyah said their husbands were in good condition, and had been well taken care of by the police.

"He (Ihsan) is fine he is healthy, he is well taken care of. The kids, they're very happy to be with their father," Aisyah said.

She had brought her three children with her to meet Ihsan, and said he had "happy tears" during the reunion.

"I told the kids babah would come back in a few days," Aisyah said when asked how the children were when they had to leave.

She said she was not informed when the family would be able to meet Ihsan again.

Rosli (photo) meanwhile said the meeting with lawyers were long overdue, as both the Penal Code and Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) only allowed for postponement of legal counsel up to 48 hours.

All three Turkish men were arrested under Section 130 of the Penal Code for activities that threaten national security.

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi meanwhile said they were being investigated for links to the Islamic State (IS) terror group - an allegation which the men's families and lawyers have denied.

There are suspicions that their detention was instead linked to a crackdown by the Turkish government on followers of exiled cleric Fetullah Gulen.

"It is anybody's guess but if you look at the situation, these people are not IS, not terrorist, they are academics.

"What is the only situation that connects Malaysia to Turkey, except the crackdown that is happening in Turkey?" Rosli asked.

A total of 47,000 suspects are being investigated and over 100,000 civil servants have been fired as part of the Turkish government's wide-ranging probe into Gulen’s alleged supporters.

The Turkish government had blamed Gulen as being responsible for a coup in the country last year. The former Recep Tayyip Erdogan ally however denies any involvement in the coup.

The Turkish government has been alleged to have engaged foreign countries to help catch dissidents abroad as a result. Some of these dissidents are alleged to have links with Gulen.
