prominent Turkish businessman and human rights activist has been re-arrested, just hours after he was acquitted of trying to overthrow the government, Turkish state media says.

A court ordered Osman Kavala's immediate release earlier on Tuesday, after dropping charges against him and eight others over protests in 2013.

He had spent over two years in prison.

But hours later, a warrant was issued against him over a 2016 coup attempt which triggered a massive crackdown.
