The document referring Mahruki for arrest has emerged. The document states, “It has been determined that the account from which the post was made belongs to Nasuh Mahruki; that in his statement, Mahruki acknowledged the social media account belongs to him, that he made the post himself, and that he declared he had no intent to commit a crime; that in his post, he described the treacherous July 15 coup attempt—which targeted the Turkish nation and resulted in the martyrdom of our citizens and security forces—as a 'theater'; and that in this form, the tweet exceeded the limits of criticism and was of a nature to cause public outrage.” Mahruki was arrested by the court to which he was brought.
