Turkish court jails Erdogan critic Kavala for life – The ruling is ‘blatantly in contradiction with the norms of the rule of law and international obligations’ | I24news

A Turkish court on Monday sentenced leading intellectual and rights campaigner Osman Kavala to life in prison on controversial coup plot charges that already had him locked up without a conviction for more than four years.
The panel of three penal court judges also jailed seven other defendants for 18 years, each on charges of aiding the attempt to topple the government.
