Osman Kavala has been given an aggravated life sentence for "attempted overthrow," the other defendants have been sentenced to 18 years in prison for assisting this crime.

Tora Pekin, lawyer of arrested journalist Ahmet Şık, claims that both the investigation about his client and his arrest lack concrete evidence. Otherwise, the way the file is handled by the prosecution would constitute a violation of the right to defence, Pekin said.
