Turkey issues new arrest warrant for rights defender Kavala

Istanbul prosecutors Tuesday issued a new arrest warrant for rights defender Osman Kavala as part of a separate investigation into a failed 2016 coup, the official Anadolu news agency reported.

The new warrant comes after Kavala and other eight defendants were acquitted in a highly controversial trial over the anti-government "Gezi Park" protests of 2013.
