A Turkish court ruled today, Friday (26/11) eve of the philanthropist Osman Kavala in prison, after four years of detention without being convicted, in an ongoing trial and has further intensified her relationship Turkey with its western allies.
Kavala was arrested in October 2017 and was jailed on charges of attempting to overthrow the government. The case is seen as politically motivated and a sign of the crackdown on dissent under President Tayyip Erdogan.
Last month, Erdogan threatened to expel the ambassadors of ten countries, including the United States, Germany and France, following a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Kavala should be released.
The businessman has advocated for minority rights initiatives
The European Court of Human Rights requested his release at the end of 2019 due to the lack of credible evidence that he committed a crime, judging that his pre-trial detention constitutes an attempt to silence him.
Kavala is known for supporting cultural initiatives for minority rights, the Kurdish issue and Armenian-Turkish reconciliation.
President Erdogan often refers to Osman Kavala as the “representative in Turkey” of the American billionaire of Hungarian descent, George Soros, a black sheep for various authoritarian regimes in the world.
