TURKEY-FOOTBALL-TRIAL-POLITICS-JUSTICE
Besiktas fans light a flares on December 16, 2014 in Istanbul during a protest against the trial of 35 fans that took part in mass anti-government protests in Gezi Park in 2013. Thirty-five supporters of Turkish top flight football side Besiktas went on trial in a hugely controversial case on charges of seeking to overthrow the authorities led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2013 protests. Hundreds of Besiktas supporters surrounded the Istanbul criminal court as the trial opened, shouting football chants backing the accused who are all members of the club's main fan club, the Carsi Group. Prosecutors have accused all 35 suspects of seeking to stage a coup to overthrow the government of Erdogan, who was then prime minister, during the unprecedented 2013 protests against his rule.
