• This week, Mr. Osman Kavala and 8 “accomplices” were found guilty of sedition. His conviction opened Pandora’s Box.

 

• Background: Gezi Protests, 2016 coup attempt, and Osman Kavala.

 

• WHY Do I call Kavala a “political prisoner”?

 

• Are there others like him? Yes, thousands of innocents rotting in prisons for committing acts Erdogan doesn’t approve of.

 

• Kavala’s sentencing could stoke a second Gezi protest.

 

• Erdogan government lost all the good-will he generated in the West by his clever stance in Ukraine War.
