Greece's Supreme Court has ruled against extraditing eight Turkish soldiers whom the Turkish government accuses of being involved in last July's attempted coup. The eight men fled in a helicopter to Greece after the coup attempt but say they were not involved. The presiding judge said the men were unlikely to receive a fair trial in Turkey.
