More than two months after a couple of developers from Czech studio Bohemia Interactive (ArmA) were arrested over espionage suspicions, the pair has had an appeal against the charges denied.
Bohemia's Ivan Buchta and Martin Pezlar were originally taken in after allegedly capturing video and photos of a military installation in Greece for an upcoming ArmA game.
According to local news sites, and as translated by Eurogamer, Buchta and Pezlar have now been denied bail and will be tried before a court in Greece. They could face up to 20 years in prison.
In the meantime, the families of the pair have spoken out, stating that the conditions they are being subjected to have been abysmal.
They're in a cell with over 25 people, they sleep on the ground," Buchta's father Miloslav stated. "They have food twice a day.
His mother added, "Our boys no longer tell us on the phone that it's alright, that they're handling it. After the court's decision we only hear from them something that no parent ever wants to hear: Mom, dad, please save us."
Greece gonna Greece I guess.
Oh yes, The Greek media are having a field day with this also, They claim the arma devs were spying for Turkey.

Well, spies are usually shot, they should be greatfull they are alive. In other countries would have been shot on sight.
Lets not forget that greeks can't even tell the difference between 720p low detail <30 fps and 1080p ultra detail >60fps. Not exactly a country of geniuses.
