EIGHTY-six people accused of plotting to overthrow Turkey's Islamist-rooted Government will go on trial on October 20, media reports said today...
The probe has targeted several senior journalists and academics known to be harsh government critics, fuelling accusations that it is being deliberately stretched to silence opponents.
Some say the probe has become a means of revenge against secularists after a prosecutor asked the Constitutional Court to outlaw Erdogan's Justice and Development Party for undermining Turkey's secular system.
