Businessman Osman Kavala has recently been acquitted in the Gezi Park Case and was arrested once again within the “coup investigation” as his release was expected. Kavala was arrested once again, this time due to “political or military espionage.” The warrant against Kavala, who is in prison for 861 days, was issued one day before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) decree, stating that his arrest is a right violation, is finalised. His attorney İlkan Koyuncu indicated that Kavala was arrested three times within the same investigation file and was released once, now being arrested once again with another charge. “They are going to say that they will not apply the ECHR decree on right violation and the maximum two-year arrest period at the stage of investigation,” Koyuncu said. In short, Kavala was arrested within the same file, released on paper, arrested once and once again.
