Turkish court belatedly halts dismantling of 'radioactive' ship
A court in ?zmir has ordered a stay of execution in the controversial dismantling of an oil refining ship that allegedly contained radioactive waste - but only after most of the vessel had already been dismantled.
The ?zmir 3rd Administrative Court released its order for a stay of execution on Oct. 16, just days before the dismantling was set to be completed.
