Human rights group Amnesty International said Sunday it had "credible evidence" of the abuse and torture of people detained in sweeping arrests since Turkey's July 15 coup attempt.
The London-based group claimed some of those being held were being "subjected to beatings and torture, including rape, in official and unofficial detention centres in the country".
In Turkey, a senior official denied Amnesty's claims and vowed that Turkey would uphold human rights.
"The idea that Turkey, a country seeking European Union membership, would not respect the law is absurd," the official said.
"We categorically deny the allegations and encourage advocacy groups to provide an unbiased account of the legal steps that are being taken against people who murdered nearly 250 civilians in cold blood."
Since the failed coup, a total of 13,165 people have been detained, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said late Saturday.
