European Court to Rule on Jailed Activist's Second Appeal

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) will announce its decision today on the second application filed by Osman Kavala, who has been held in prison since 2017. The case focuses on allegations of rights violations related to Kavala's continued detention and legal proceedings, which have persisted even after the Court's initial ruling in 2019 that found a violation of his rights. The Grand Chamber's upcoming decision is the result of Kavala's second application to the Court, which argues that his ongoing imprisonment and trial process constitute further breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights.
