Oh my goodness. Huge, huge news from Turkey. #OsmanKavala has been acquitted in the #GeziPark trial along with all the other defendants, which we @BarHumanRights have been monitoring - with growing and grave concern.
Such rare good news from Turkey. Waiting to hear from @KJDbarrister the detail of what happened this morning! @BarHumanRights
But big questions remain. Why was this case prosecuted at all? Why did it go on so long based on such fundamental flaws, Kavala detained for some 2.5 years? The case strongly suggests judicial proceedings being used to harass critics. These are still frightening times in Turkey.
