"I just saw Deniz Göktaş and our colleague, lawyer Mehmet Pehlivan, at the Karatepe High-Security Prison. Both of them are in extremely good spirits and morale, and they send their best regards to everyone. I asked Deniz if there was anything he wanted to say. He said, 'I am in very good spirits, I am doing better than I expected. I am watching the World Cup. My biggest problem here is that the tournament is low-scoring.' I asked, and he is supporting Argentina. By the way, he has already started writing a new podcast."
