coup and parliament has endorsed the measure. it is due to last for three months. many have already been detained since the attempted coup. the european convention on human rights is also being suspended during the state of emergency. reporter: early-morning checks as turkish forces continue to ride of thohose suspectcted of involvement in last friday cost -- friday's attempted coup. it is set to widen now. the government says it is necessary to prevent another coup and it says it will act within the rule of law. >> the state of emergency does not mean a state of siege. the government will not be in the hands of the army, not all crimes will be tried in military courts, the government will be in the hands of the civil authority, instead of a military authority. the turkish parliament gave

backing to the state of emergency, allowing the government to roll by -- rule by decree. hours could include enforcing curfews, banning public gatherings, carrying out more arrests, and further research and of press freedoms. with thousands of state employees detained since last friday, fears are growing that the government could abuse the situation. >> there has been a violent and the legitimate attempt to -- illegitimate attempt to seize power. our concern is that the government is going be on what might be considered a legitimate response to the coup, targeting people for their political affiliations, that is not upholding the rule of law or allowing turkey --
