The Turku Court of Appeal has agreed to allow prosecutors to appeal a ruling in an unprecedented war crimes case. Last April, a district court dismissed charges against a Sierra Leonean who has lived in Finland for more than a decade.
The Pirkanmaa District Court has previously denied similar requests from Turkey on the grounds that the Tampere man would not receive a fair trial in Turkey and be subject to human rights violations.
The 18-year-old defendant was convicted on three charges of aggravated negligent homicides committed as a young person, as he was a minor at the time of the crash.
