*N. Baydemirli was detained on July 4, 2023 by the Department for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on charges of violating Article 182.2.4 (Extortion by threats to seize property) of the Criminal Code.
The next day, the court arrested him for 4 months. Baydemirli rejected the accusation, calling it fabricated. According to him, the real reason for the arrest is his support for the protests of the residents of the village of Seyudlu in the Gedabey region against environmental pollution.
On September 1, another charge was brought against Baydemirli – violation of Article 182.2.2 (extortion by threats, committed repeatedly) of the Criminal Code.

Human rights activists recognized Baydemirli as a political prisoner.
