Turkey jails Cumhuriyet journalists Can Dundar and Erdem Gul
journalists Can Dundar and Erdem Gul
Ankara - MENA
A Turkish court has sentenced two journalists to five years in prison on charges of revealing state secrets, the BBC reported on Friday.
Can Dundar and Erdem Gul, the former editor and Ankara bureau chief of leading opposition daily Cumhuriyet, were prosecuted over a report alleging the Turkish government had tried to ship arms to Islamists in Syria.
The prosecution has been widely criticized by international observers.
Shortly before the verdict, a gunman attempted to kill Dundar.
The assailant fired several shots while Dundar was briefing reporters outside the courthouse. Dundar escaped unharmed and the gunman was arrested. A reporter was lightly injured in the leg.
Dundar and Gul were charged in November with espionage after their reporting alleged Turkey's intelligence services were sending weapons and ammunition to Islamist rebels fighting the Syrian regime.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
