Law change scuppers Turkey trial

I just posted this: Terror Suspects Beating Charges Filed in Europe, two hours ago for christ sake.

From The BBC

The Turkish trial of dozens of suspects charged over November's suicide attacks has been halted indefinitely.

Defence lawyers claimed Istanbul's State Security Court was not fit to hear the case as it was recently abolished in pro-EU government reforms.

Prosecutors later announced they agreed. The full trial cannot now start until parliament creates a new court.

More than 60 people died in the blasts, which targeted two synagogues, the HSBC bank and the British consulate.


How much you want to bet Hamza never leaves Britain?

You would think the Turks would have noticed that their State Security Court had been abolished.
