Turkish court to start new trial of philanthropist Osman Kavala 18.12.2020 A court in Istanbul is due on Friday to begin hearings in a new trial of prominent philanthropist and businessman Osman Kavala on charges linked to an attempted coup in 2016. Kavala has been behind bars since November 2017. He was acquitted in February in a separate trial in which he was accused of organising and financing the Gezi Park environmental protests in Istanbul. The crackdown on the demonstrators triggered nationwide anti-government protests, also representing the largest such mobilisation against then-prime minister, now President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. However, before Kavala could walk free, a new warrant was issued for him for espionage and attempting to overthrow the constitutional order , in connection with the failed coup.
