Garo Paylan, the Armenian member of the Turkish parliament, referred to the prolongation of the arrest of prominent Turkish human rights activist Osman Kavala.

"The court, ignoring the ECtHR's decision to force the immediate release of Osman Kavala, extended his detention period," Paylan wrote on Twıtter, likening the Turkish authorities to a criminal gang.

Kavala is known for defending the rights of national minorities. Many books on the Armenian Genocide have been published by his publishing house, and discussions and commemorations on the same topic have been organized at his restaurant in Istanbul.
