Soros-Lierade Kavala Dömd Till 18 År I Turkiet
2022-04-26
"Kavala was a founding member of the Open Society Foundations in Turkey, an international grantmaking network created by the American-Hungarian billionaire George Soros. In 2018, the Foundation ceased all its activities in Turkey.[17] In a conversation with journalist Şirin Payzın, Kavala said that he "respected Soros" and that "our views overlap on issues such as the proper functioning of legal institutions, the protection and extension of civil rights, the support of civil society organizations and rights defenders, and immigration policies."[18] He added that his "views on egalitarian policies in the social and economic fields are different" and that he has been critical of some of the activities of the Foundation in some countries.[18] President Recep Tayyip Erdogan singled Kavala out for criticism, saying “The connections of the person they call the ‘red Soros of Turkey’ are coming to light”, and accused Kavala of being responsible for the Gezi Park protests of 2013, and of the "transfer of significant funds to certain places".[19] In an op-ed published in The New York Times, Kavala states: "It seems I was cast in this narrative because I was a board member of the Open Society Foundation in Turkey and because of my open—though not financial—support of the campaign to protect Gezi Park.[20]"
