A court in Turkey has ordered the police to arrest and take to prison the leader of an Islamic sect who was convicted last year of inciting religious hatred.
Mehmet Kutlular, the leader of the Nur Cemaati sect, was sentenced to two years in prison for claiming in a speech at a religious ceremony that an earthquake was God's revenge against Turkey for its secularist policies.
Mr Kutlular was allowed to remain at liberty pending an appeal.
The appeal was rejected by a court earlier this year and today an administrative court ordered the enforcement of the sentence.
