ISTANBUL: An Istanbul court on Saturday remanded in custody ahead of trial nine staff from the opposition Cumhuriyet newspaper, in a case that had caused international concern, the Dogan news agency said.
The nine placed under arrest after their detention earlier this week include prominent names like the editor-in-chief Murat Sabuncu, cartoonist Musa Kart and columnist Kadri Gursel. They are charged with links to Kurdish militants and the group blamed for the July 15 coup bid.
