Beykoz Mayor Alaattin Köseler was re-arrested hours after his release. Köseler's lawyer, Çiğdem Kezer, made a statement regarding the matter via her social media account. 

Kezer noted the following:

"The objection filed by the prosecutor's office against the release decision issued by the Anatolian 17th High Criminal Court regarding our client Alaattin Köseler has been accepted by the Anatolian 18th High Criminal Court, and a re-arrest decision has been issued. 

This decision, made less than 24 hours after his release, has deeply wounded us and all the people of Beykoz. We are following this process while standing by the Republic of Turkey and trusting its justice mechanism.

Our faith in the rule of law, the independent judiciary of our state, and the values of our nation is complete. While defending our client's rights, we also emphasize once again our commitment to the rules set by our state and the functioning of justice. We have absolute trust that justice will be fully served in the final decision."
