68 percent disabled Mustafa Yaşar was arrested on 8 July due to his social media posts. Yaşar was sentenced to 1 year 6 months and 22 days for "making propaganda for an illegal organisation" and was sent to Metris Prison.

Yaşar's lawyer, Gülizar Tuncer, stated that the posts shared by her client were of friends he knew from prison and revolutionaries who died.

Yaşar had health problems due to two separate death fasts in 1996 and 2000, and was released from prison in 2019. He has a disability report and suffers from Wernicke Korsakof disease.
