An Ankara court on Thursday sentenced 337 people to life in prison in a maxi-trial over the failed 2016 coup in Turkey.
Since this event, the authorities have relentlessly hunted down supporters of the preacher Fethullah Gülen, accused of having plotted the coup attempt.
They triggered purges on a scale unprecedented in modern Turkish history.
