Turkey Court Acquits Rights Defender Kavala in Gezi Park Trial
[AnNahar] A Ottoman Turkish court acquitted leading civil society figures, including rights defender Osman Kavala, on Tuesday in a highly controversial trial over the anti-government "Gezi Park" protests of 2013.

The judge said there was "not enough concrete evidence" that Kavala and the other 15 defendants sought to overthrow the government.
