Four Turkish Terrorists Sent to Greek Prison
The four Turkish nationals pending trial on terrorism and weapons-related charges were jailed by the Greek court after the counter terrorism police arrested them during a raid in their apartment in Gyzi, Athens, Greece. The defendants, who are alleged to be members of DHKP-C militant group, are being prosecuted for terrorist activities. The four men are facing charges for establishing a terrorist organization with the aggravating circumstance of manufacturing and supplying explosives in order to service terroristic objectives. They are also charged with accusations of committing forgery repeatedly and of illegally entering the country. According to sources, the four men refused having any connection to the weapons or the accusations and they support that their prosecution is the result of their action against the non-free and undemocratic Turkish regime. According to the defendants, the case file did not include the apartment’s research report, nor the report of the weapons found there, nor the seizure report. The defense noted that two of the defendants were charged with accusations of establishing a criminal organization at a time when one of them was 9 years-old and the other was 10. The Turkish Interpol had issued an international arrest warrant for one of the defendants whose DNA matched traces on weapons intercepted by Greek police in last summer’s incident in the Aegean Sea. The militant group to which the four men belong is a group responsible for a string of bombings and assassinations in Turkey.
