Berberoglu, who was convicted and sentenced to 25-years for revealing state secrets, got a special permission for one day to attend the funeral and returned to his prison. Turkey’s state-run news agency said Monday, Oct. 9, 2017, an Istanbul appeals court nullified the conviction handed to Berberoglu and ordered a new trial. (AP Photo/Emrah Gurel, File)
