A Turkish court Tuesday upheld the 25-year jail sentence of the parliamentary main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Deputy Enis Berberoğlu in the "Turkish intelligence trucks" case.
Berberoğlu was sentenced to 25 years in prison earlier this year for allegedly leaking footage to Cumhuriyet newspaper suggesting Turkey's intelligence MİT agency smuggled arms to Islamist terrorists in Syria. He was convicted of revealing state secrets and espionage.
The penal court had been ordered to retry Berberoğlu last month, but it refused the order saying the upper court's decision to overturn was against procedure and law.
