Nephew of Fetullah Gulen seized in Kenya and brought back to Turkey

Turkish security services have detained a nephew of exiled cleric Fetullah Gulen overseas and brought him back to Turkey, local media have announced.

Selahaddin Gulen has been accused of belonging to an outlawed organisation headed by his uncle.
...
But his wife Serriye, a teacher in Kenya, said in a video on social media that her husband had gone missing in Nairobi in early May.
...
The outlet did not say if his capture - carried out by Turkey's National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) - had been made in agreement with Kenya.

If done "in agreement with Kenya", this is still state kidnapping, just by 2 states. There was no proper extradition.

First Belarus, then Turkey, then which despotic country is next to kidnap its perceived opposition?

Everything comes in 3’s.
