Via AFP: Germany summoned the Turkish ambassador over the jailing of philantrophist Osman
#Kavala
"I can tell you that we summoned the Turkish ambassador to the foreign ministry today and made the government's position very clear once again," a foreign ministry spokesman said.
Kavala was sentenced to life in prison earlier this week, while 7 others - Mucella Yapici, Tayfun Kahraman, Can Atalay, Cigdem Mater, Hakan Altinay, Yiğit Ali Ekmekçi, and Mine Özerden - got 18 years based on claims they organized and financed the nationwide Gezi protests in 2013
The verdict has been condemned by human rights groups, opposition politicians and foreign governments. It is seen as symbolic of a crackdown on dissent in Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and of the weaponization of the judiciary for political purposes.
🇩🇪 Foreign Minister Baerbock earlier this week said the court's ruling "blatantly contradicts the constitutional standards & international obligations that TR commits itself to as a member of the Council of Europe & EU accession candidate", called for Kavala's immediate release
NEW: Turkey summons German Ambassador in response to Berlin’s summoning the Turkish envoy over Kavala case
Turkish deputy FM Kaymakci tells the German envoy that no one can question Turkey’s independent courts
He also warns him not to interfere with Turkish domestic politics

Nevşin Mengü Almanya Büyükelçisi gibi.Çok dokunmuş Osman Kavala'nın tutuklanması.
Almanya; Türk Büyükelçisini bu konuda çağarmış.
Nevşin o gazeteci aklınla hiç mi düşünmezsin Almanya bizi çok mu seviyor da iç işlerimize karışıyor.Sen orada alınan bir karara karışabiliyor musun?

He is a sympathizer of the PKK terrorist organization.
Do you know how many people Pkk is killing in Turkey, how many babies and how many civilians died in bomb attacks? I know thousands of people died. Some in their sleep, some at school, some on the street.

Germany has supported the AKP from the very beginning. Now it is pure hypocrisy to complain about this situation. There is a beautiful saying in Turkish; dün yediğin hurmalar, gün gelir seni tırmalar ;))
