ISTANBUL - A Turkish court issued a new arrest warrant on Monday against Turkish businessman and philanthropist Osman Kavala, who was re-arrested last month after being acquitted in a separate trial, one of his lawyers told Reuters.
On Monday, a second arrest warrant was issued in relation to the coup attempt, this time for espionage. “#OsmanKavala must be released, not face further fabricated charges that are manifestly unfounded,” Milena Buyum, Turkey campaigner for Amnesty International, said on Twitter.In December, the European Court of Human Rights said there was insufficient evidence to support the accusation that Kavala had been involved in the abortive coup. That ruling will become final on Tuesday.
