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.

Osman Kavala’nın “Anayasal Düzeni Ortadan Kaldırmaya Teşebbüs” ve “Devletin Gizli Kalması Gereken Bilgilerini Casusluk Amacıyla Temin Etme” suçlamalarıyla yargılandığı davanın ilk duruşması 18 Aralık 2020 saat 13:30’da görülecek.
Duruşmayı izlemek üzere Çağlayan'da olacağız.
Osman Kavala davasının 1. duruşması başladı.

Duruşmadan çıkabilecek tek makul karar, mahkemenin bu adaletsizliğe son vermesi ve doğru olanı yaparak Osman Kavala’yı serbest bırakması olacaktır. #FreeOsmanKavala

1/ Tomorrow #OsmanKavala will have been held in a prison cell for 1,000 days.

In the almost 33 months of his imprisonment, he was acquitted once, had his imprisonment under another charge lifted as an indictment could not be drawn up.

#CrimeNotFound

2/ The two initial charges were baseless, devoid of credible evidence, and politically motivated. He is currently in prison under a third equally baseless charge, that of ‘espionage’, which would require him to have been in possession of secret information. This is absurd.
3/ For almost three years, the authorities have attempted to find it but there isn’t a crime to be found.

Five months ago, I was in the courtroom in Silivri prison, Istanbul, for the ruling that #OsmanKavala should be released.

But our celebrations were brief.

He was immediately rearrested.

Monday, will be Kavala's 1,000th day behind bars.
