In the wake of human rights activists being detained in Büyükada, Türkiye Newspaper columnist Batuhan Yaşar wrote in his column about the detentions that "The name of their WhatsApp group is 'We will be free together on July 24...' The intelligence units started to monitor this meeting when it was in the preparation phase. They watched every step and prevented a new act of treason through the operation they carried out on July 24".
