Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has ordered the ambassadors of 10 countries, including the U.S., France, and Germany, be declared "persona non grata" after calling for the release of jailed Turkish businessman and philanthropist Osman Kavala.
Persona non grata literally means "an unwelcome person."
"I gave the necessary instructions to our minister of foreign affairs," Erdogan said in a speech Saturday. "I told him what to do. I said that you will deal with these 10 ambassadors being declared persona non grata as soon as possible."
Who are you? What is it? Leave Kavala. Do you leave the bandits, murderers, terrorists in your own country?" Erdogan said to journalists on Thursday.

The expulsion of ambassadors is a "sign of the authoritarian drift" of the Turkish government, European Parliament president David Sassoli tweeted Saturday.
"We will not be intimidated," he said. "Freedom for Osman Kavala."
The Austrian Foreign Ministry says it "deeply regrets" Turkey's announcement to declare then 10 ambassadors "persona non grata."
In a tweet Saturday, the ministry called for a "fair and timely resolution" of Osman Kavala's case and for the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights' judgments.
