Turkey re-convicts journalists despite higher court ruling A Turkish court confirms the convictions against former journalists from Turkey's oldest newspaper Cumhuriyet, despite their sentences being overturned by a higher court. The 12 were convicted last year of supporting, through their news coverage, three organisations that Turkey views as terrorist groups: the Kurdistan Workers' Party, the ultra-left Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, and the Gulen movement blamed for a failed coup in 2016.
