77 sentenced in Düzce over links to FETÖ


A court in northern Turkey's Düzce handed down prison terms of between one to 10 years to 77 defendants in a Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) trial on Friday.

The defendants were among 122 suspected members of the terrorist group's network in the city and included former police officers and teachers. Thirty-four other defendants were acquitted while 11 others will be tried separately.

FETÖ is accused of carrying out the July 15, 2016, coup attempt and has faced a barrage of trials after the attempt.
