26th Heavy Penal Court

Jailed journalist Nazlı Ilıcak has denied allegations during court hearings on June 19 and 20 in the case into the alleged "media leg" of what prosecutors call the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), believed to be behind the July 15, 2016 coup attempt. 

Seventeen suspects, including jailed journalists Nazlı Ilıcak, Ahmet Altan and Mehmet Altan, for the first time appeared before court in Istanbul on June 19, in a case into the alleged "media leg" of what prosecutors call the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), believed to be behind the July 15, 2016 coup attempt. 

Turkey's Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) announced on April 3 that it temporarily dismissed a court board and a prosecutor, less than a week after they ordered the release of some 21 suspects in a case into the media structure of the Fethullahist Terror Organization (FETÖ), which is accused of orchestrating the July 2016 failed coup attempt.

Detention warrants were issued for seven suspects in a case into the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) late on March 31.
