Ankara (Turkey) - The eight Turkish soldiers who fled to Greece and sought asylum on Saturday received a two month suspended sentence for entering the country illegally.The soldiers deny taking part in the failed coup attempt and claim they left Turkey for fear of mass-detention. Turkey’s extradition request and the soldier’s asylum claims are ongoing.

A legal challenge by a group of Russian track and field athletes against their exclusion from next month’s Summer Olympics in Rio has been rejected.

The ruling comes amid claims of widespread state-sponsored doping in Russia.

Seven men have been found guilty in France of supporting ISIL, either by recruiting or suppling logistical or other support, or by travelling to Syria for military training.
