The ruling of the Criminal Department of the Supreme Court on the eight Turkish officers who came to Greece by helicopter after the attempted coup d’ etat on July 15 was postponed to Thursday, January 26.
Three separate panels of Greek judges have already ruled that the Turkish officers’ lives may be put at risk if they were to be returned to Turkey, where Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has launched a tough crackdown on dissent since the summer’s coup attempt.
All eight servicemen have denied involvement in the coup attempt and say they fear for their lives if they are returned to Turkey.
