On Thursday a Greek court once again ruled against the extradition of two of the eight Turkish soldiers who fled from Turkey to Greece following the failed coup attempt in July, 2016.

The soldiers have said that they fear for their lives and that they will not be given fair treatment if returned to Turkey.
