A Turkish court Wednesday sentenced 64 military personnel to life in prison for involvement in a failed military coup in July 2016, state-run Anadolu news agency said.
One hundred other defendants were acquitted, reports said.
The indictment said leaders of the coup had flown unsuspecting military academy students to a military headquarters to confront civilians opposing the coup attempt, Anadolu said.
