Yonca Yüksek was questioned about books by Sayyid Qutb in an investigation in which 15 people were arrested in Ankara and Mersin. Yüksek’s home was searched on 27 October following a decision by Mersin 3rd Criminal Judgeship of Peace dated 26 October. Özgür-Der Chair Rıdvan Kaya shared a section of Yüksek’s statement record and criticized questions about where, when and for what purpose she had obtained the books and what their contents were. The record referred to a 2023 seizure order issued by Adana 6th Criminal Judgeship of Peace concerning the Neda Publishing edition of the book “Davetin Temel Özelliği.” Haksöz Haber reported that “Yoldaki İşaretler” and “Cihad ve Şehadet” were also raised during the interrogation. The Antalya Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, however, said that the printing, distribution and recall ban on “Yoldaki İşaretler” had been lifted on 16 October, 11 days before the search. The statement did not cover the separate decision concerning “Davetin Temel Özelliği” cited in the record.
