FILE - In this Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2017 file photo, people hold a banner showing some of the academics on trial and reads in Turkish: 'Peace', as they participate in a protest outside a court in Istanbul. Turkey's top court has ruled that 10 academics had their rights violated when they were sentenced on charges of disseminating terrorist propaganda for signing a petition that called for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast. They were among hundreds of members of a group called Academics for Peace who signed the petition in January 2016. The Constitutional Court on Friday, July 26, 2019 ordered re-trials and compensation for the 10 academics who appealed. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis, file)
