    Workers Party Chairman and nationalist activist Dogu Perincek was
    arrested by a court in Istanbul and sent to jail on charges that he
    is a part of an ultranationalist extremist gang.

    Meanwhile, daily Cumhuriyet chief Ilhan Selcuk and former Istanbul
    University President Prof. Kemal Alemdaroglu who were also taken
    into custody in connection with the gang case called "Ergenekon"
    were released by the court but the case against them will continue.

    However, the court also slapped a ban barring them from traveling
    abroad pending trial.

    A total of 12 people were taken into custody in Istanbul and capital
    Ankara on Friday within the scope of the "Operation Ergenekon".

    Also sent to jail were Ferit Ilsever and two other people.

    The "Ergenekon gang" surfaced after police seized hand grenades, TNT
    explosives and fuses in a house in Istanbul on June 12, 2007. More
    than 60 people have been arrested.
