Ahmet Sonuç, a Twitch streamer known as "Jahrein", has been summoned to depose. Noting that he has not yet known why he is summoned to give his statement, Sonuç has recently done an interview with main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

Making a statement on his Twitter account, Sonuç has said, "You cannot make me afraid. And you must never be afraid of speaking":

"Well... They called me from the police department. I have been summoned to depose again. I wonder which department this time. I have the numbers of all fellow officers from the entire department on my phone, except for this one. This number is new. We will learn what this is all about when we get there. Some people were saying, 'Who would trouble with you, chubbo?'

"Guys, I am not talking about this much, but I have a file like Meydan Larousse. They have put the things that have nothing to do with these incidents in the file, they have even put the tweets of my spouse."

Indicating that he has filed a criminal complaint against 16 people who "cursed his everything, from his honor, dignity and reputation to his family and faith", he has said, "I gave my statement about all of them, I am still waiting. There will be 200 other criminal complaints."

"But they call me immediately. It is indeed interesting," Ahmet Sonuç has expressed his surprise further in his statement.

"You can never make me afraid. I tweet this message so that it will be written here. And you must never be afraid of speaking. I have lived this life enough. Bring it on. I have never been so strong mentally. But still, let this note stay here: I will never hurt myself, I will never commit suicide."
