Turkish lawyer saying ISIL men 'worse than beasts' threatened

A lawyer who withdrew March 5 from defending suspected Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants, saying that the defendants were ?neither beasts nor human beings,? said he was threatened the very same day.

The police have now provided a guard for him, said Nail Gündüz, one of the three lawyers who withdrew from the case after being appointed by the Bar.
