The ambassadors of said countries have recently signed a letter that called for the release of philanthropist Osman Kavala, who’s been jailed in Turkey for 4 years and pending a trial.
A ruling was made by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on December 10, 2019, which stated that the European Convention on Human Rights had been violated and therefore ordered Kavala to be released immediately.
The ECHR concluded that Kavala’s arrest was based on political motives, without any reasonable evidence backing the accusations. However, Turkish officials did not implement the decision and said the ECHR’s judgment was not final.
