Turkish coup plotters to be buried in a 'graveyard for traitors'

Turkish coup plotters to be buried in a 'graveyard for traitors'
22.07.2016 16:30
Eight Turkish military officers who fled to Greece in last week's failed coup have been handed a suspended two-month prison sentence as officials announced a 'graveyard for traitors' will be built for plotters, Daily Mail writes.

Istanbul's mayor has allocated a space for so-called dissenters to be buried after 104 coup plotters were killed last weekend as fighting broke out in Ankara, Istanbul and elsewhere. 

More people with ties to the plot could yet be killed as the government considers reintroducing the death penalty for those involved.  

The officers, sought by Turkey to face a military trial at home, have requested asylum in Greece and will remain in police custody until their cases on that issue are heard early in August.
