Alparslan Kuytul recorded a video before being detained: His children shared it on social media

32 people, including Furkan Foundation President Alparslan Kuytul and his wife Semra Kuytul, have been detained. Kuytul faces accusations of "establishing and managing an organization," "laundering assets derived from crime," and "fraud."

The video, which Kuytul recorded a few hours before his detention, was shared by his children on his social media accounts following the detention process.

In his final conference before being detained, Kuytul alleged that an operation was being conducted against the Süleymancılar. The Furkan Foundation President argued that the operations were carried out because the Süleymancılar were opposed to the government.

SARAL TO KUYTUL: "YOUR WATER HAS ALSO HEATED UP ENOUGH"

Following this statement by Kuytul, Presidential Chief Advisor Oktay Saral stated in a post on his social media account, "Your water has also heated up enough, Kuytul! You haven't learned your lesson, your turn will come too!"

It was noted that Kuytul was detained one day after Saral's aforementioned post.

RECORDED A VIDEO BEFORE DETENTION

The video, which Kuytul recorded a few hours before his detention, was published by his children on his social media accounts after the process.

In the video, which is stated to be dated "August 18," Kuytul spoke about a possible operation against him. Kuytul also alleged that Oktay Saral had threatened him.

'OKTAY SARAL HAS THREATENED ME'

Kuytul's remarks regarding Oktay Saral in his 'August 18' video are as follows:

"The night connecting August 17 to August 18... Oktay Saral posted tweets full of insults and threats against me. The reason is the statement I made regarding the Süleymancılar. What I told the Süleymancılar is not to incite anarchy or cause incidents. If you have no guilt, if you know your teacher is a good person, if you trust him, and if you do not believe he has acquired wealth through religion and the community, then carry out your struggle. Through legitimate means... No, if you believe he is guilty, there is nothing you can do. That is what I said! Where does Oktay Saral find this uncomfortable? Does Oktay Saral want them not to struggle, to remain silent, and not to seek their rights even if they are not guilty?

'YOU ARE USED TO COWARDS, WE DID NOT RUN, WE ARE AT HOME'

If an operation is carried out against me after this tweet by Oktay Saral, let everyone understand whose command the law is under in this country! We have fought many struggles to this day, and we have never been afraid, we have not run away. I am at home. You are used to cowards. You will commit whatever oppression you want. No one will speak, right? That is what you want. You are afraid of the number of those who speak increasing. Why? Because you are committing injustices. You are committing oppression and you do not want people to hear about it. You do not want them to show a reaction. We have no fear of anyone but God. He who fears God fears no one. Once we have God behind us, it does not matter who is in front of us."
