Video Commentary:  Turkey’s Number #1 Political Prisoner Osman Kavala

Turkey’s Number #1 Political Prisoner Osman Kavala

• 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.
