2/. “This ruling shames Turkey’s authorities & lays bare yet again the failure of the govt to abide by a binding obligation. If Turkey persists in its stubborn refusal to release #OsmanKavala, it will further debase itself as a founding member of the @COE” amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
3/. “Each day the #Gezi7 spend behind bars is an affront to the concept of justice & human rights — principles the Turkish state has committed itself to upholding but repeatedly & relentlessly violates,” @AgnesCallamard

1/. Just over a year ago, in a pre-lockdown world, I travelled to #Turkey with a high level @amnesty delegation to observe the judgement in the case of #OsmanKavala, a philanthropist who, at that time, had been unjustly behind bars for more than two years.
2/. The hearing of OsmanKavala & 15 other Turkish civil society figures - all facing the same absurd charges - was taking place in a court in Silivri high security prison, Europe's largest jail
The dock had space for 250 defendants
This was a courtroom designed for mass trials

3/. We watched proceedings from the back of the gargantuan courtroom
"So much space in this courtroom yet so little room for justice," I thought
But suddenly, the judge stood & declared #OsmanKavala & all co-defendants in this Gezi trial, were acquitted.

#OsmanKavala makes a statement at the opening of his trial in #Turkey.👇
“My ongoing imprisonment based on these strange accusations, so remote from the truth have become a kind of psychological torture. I hope this will be the last indictment of its kind.” #FreeOsmanKavala

“These allegations were made without any concrete evidence that I aimed at overthrowing the government that I knew of these events in advance. Without any material evidence, it was asserted that I had financed Gezi events.”

This is scandalous. #OsmanKavala #Gezi #Turkey
A very similar and repugnant tactic was used in #AhmetAltan’s case. It appears to amount to naked abuse of the court system by way of harassment.
Turkey’s “justice” system is in serious crisis.

Worth noting a crowded courtroom rose to give both Kavala & Aksakoğlu a long, hearty and respectful applause, many times over. #GeziPark
