Turkey court sentences 6 journalists to life in jail

A Turkish court on Friday sentenced six journalists to life imprisonment for aiding plotters of a 2016 failed coup.

Mehmet Altan, and his brother Ahmet, were accused of giving coded messages on a television talk show a day before the coup attempt, Reuters reported. All six denied the charges.

Mehmet and Ahmet Altans have numerous publications about the need to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
