欧洲人权法院周二对土耳其伊斯坦布尔法院监禁68岁慈善家奥斯曼·卡瓦拉的判决提出批评，指出该案凸显了土耳其司法系统的“系统性问题” 1。卡瓦拉是促进和平与对话的非营利组织创始人，于2022年因与2013年抗议活动和2016年政变企图相关的指控，被判处终身监禁不得假释 1。欧洲人权法院重申了其在2019年首次发出的释放卡瓦拉的呼吁，并称其定罪应被视为“无效” 1。
法院指出，违规行为“还揭示了结构性缺陷，影响了司法独立和公正的保障，并可能助长行政分支对某些司法决定的直接或间接影响” 1。土耳其政府则坚称其司法系统公正独立 1。总统埃尔多安此前曾拒绝承认该法院的裁决，并称土耳其不会“承认那些不承认我们法院的人” 1。
卡瓦拉于2017年首次被拘留 1。他在2020年被判无罪后，迅速因2016年政变企图相关指控再次被捕，其无罪判决被推翻并与政变案合并 1。2021年，此案引发外交危机，埃尔多安威胁将包括美国、法国和德国驻安卡拉代表在内的10名外国大使列为不受欢迎的人 1。
The European Court of Human Rights criticized the Turkish judiciary on Tuesday, stating that the imprisonment of philanthropist Osman Kavala highlights a "systematic problem" 1. The 68-year-old founder of a non-profit organization promoting peace and dialogue was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in 2022 over charges linked to 2013 protests and a 2016 coup attempt 1. Reiterating its initial call for Kavala's release made in 2019, the court ruled that his conviction should be considered null and void 1.
The court further noted that the violations "also reveal a structural defect that affects the safeguards of judicial independence and impartiality and may have the effect of promoting direct or indirect interference by the executive in certain judicial decisions" 1. In response, the Turkish government has maintained that its judicial system is fair and independent 1. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan previously dismissed the court's rulings, asserting that Turkey will not "recognize those who do not recognize our courts" 1.
Kavala was first detained in 2017 and was acquitted in 2020, only to be swiftly rearrested on charges related to the 2016 coup attempt 1. His acquittal was subsequently overturned and merged with the coup case 1. The ongoing case sparked a diplomatic crisis in 2021 when Erdogan threatened to declare 10 foreign ambassadors, including representatives from the United States, France, and Germany in Ankara, as persona non grata 1.
