Turkey begins mass trial in Ankara of the 221 alleged ringleaders of the July 15 failed coup, including 26 generals, in a purpose built court. Suspects were paraded into the courtroom inside a prison complex in Sincan outside Ankara by security forces in front of television cameras.

Protesters holding Turkish flags booed at the suspects, shouting "we want the death penalty" with placards saying: "For the martyrs and veterans of July 15, we want the death penalty"

The trial is one of many being held across the country to judge the coup suspects in what is the biggest legal process of Turkey's modern history.

The vast Sincan courtroom has already hosted in February the opening of the trial of 330 suspects accused of murder or attempted murder on the night of July 15.

More than 47,000 have been arrested on suspicion of links to the Gulen movement in an unprecedented crackdown under a state of emergency that was imposed in the wake of the coup.
