Family Members of Detained Coup Plotters Plead for Mercy from Top Politicians

Family members of 16 military officers detained for their alleged roles in a coup plot have sought mercy from top politicians and government officials. The officers, accused of involvement in a plot to overthrow the government, are currently awaiting court martial proceedings following their indictment in a report presented to the President.

The family members, speaking anonymously, expressed shock at the detention of their loved ones and are exploring various options, including political solutions, to address the situation. The military high command detained the officers in October 2025, and if found guilty, they will face severe consequences.

The families' plea for leniency underscores the gravity of the situation and the potential implications for the accused officers.
