Family dismayed Calgary imam will be held another two months in Turkey
CALGARY — Relatives of a Calgary imam who has spent more than seven months in a Turkish prison are dismayed his case will remain in limbo for at least another two months.
Davud Hanci appeared Wednesday before a judge by video on allegations he helped orchestrate last summer’s attempted coup.
His loved ones were hoping for a resolution, but his sister-in-law says he will be held until his next court date set for May 3.
“It’s very ridiculous,” Ruveyda Durmus said from Toronto. “It’s just unbelievable. This is not even about the law.”
