The video discusses the trial of 62 soldiers in Turkey accused of participating in a failed coup on July 15. These soldiers, including 28 officers, attempted to seize Istanbul's Sabia Goçen airport. If convicted, they face life imprisonment. The soldiers were misled into believing they were on a mission against ISIS. Upon realizing the truth, they surrendered. Following the coup, the Turkish government initiated extensive purges, resulting in over 43,000 arrests, including educators, police, and judges, and declared a state of emergency.
