says a prosecutor is seeking a life term in prison for author and columnist Asli Erdogan, whom he accuses of membership in an armed terror organization.

Anadolu Agency says Thursday the prosecutor is also demanding life sentences for eight other employees of the now-closed pro-Kurdish Ozgur Gundem newspaper. The prosecutor's indictment accuses all nine of membership in the outlawed Kurdish rebel group, threatening Turkey's unity and engaging in terrorist propaganda.

The indictment must be accepted by a court before trial can begin.
