Turkish prosecutors have demanded up to 15 years jail on charges of backing a terror group for 11 activists, most of whom were detained in a raid on a workshop led by Amnesty International.
The accused, who include the director of Amnesty Turkey Idil Eser, several Turkish activists and a German citizen and Swedish citizen, have been charged with "giving help to an armed terror group". In the indictment, they are accused of seeking to create "chaos in society". Prosecutors have asked for jail sentences of 7.5 to 15 years.
They were held after attending a workshop on digital security on an island off İstanbul. Eight of them have been held since then, accused of being members of and aiding an "armed terrorist organization".
