Turkey’s prosecutors are seeking maximum 15-year prison terms for five journalists of an opposition newspaper, state-run news agency Anadolu reported Monday. Prosecutors are accusing Sozcu newspaper columnists Emin Colasan and Necati Dogru as well as three editors of aiding a network led by US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, without being a member of his movement. The five will stand trial in Istanbul on January 18, AP said. Turkey accuses Gulen of orchestrating a failed military coup in 2016 and has branded his network a terror organization. Gulen denies involvement. Turkey’s prosecutors are seeking maximum 15-year prison terms for five journalists of an opposition newspaper, state-run news agency Anadolu reported Monday.
