Protesters carry a banner with the portraits of the leading defendants involved in the trial of ultra-nationalist group Ergenekon, as they demonstrate outside the heavily guarded Silivri prison, 70 km (43 miles) west of Istanbul, October 20, 2008. Ergenekon, a shadowy right-wing group, went on trial in Turkey on Monday on charges of trying to topple Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's government. Eighty-six people suspected of belonging to the group called Ergenekon, including retired army officers, politicians, lawyers and journalists, are accused of planning assassinations and bombings to sow chaos and force the military to step in. The banner reads "The plot will be foiled, the U.S. will lose, Turkey will win". REUTERS/Fatih Saribas(TURKEY)
