Furkan Movement
Projects to disperse, intimidate, intimidate and end Islamic Movements, first secretly and later openly, that were implemented in 21st century Turkey could not achieve the desired purpose and effect on the Furkan Movement and its volunteers. Beginning with the prophets in the field of Islamic resistance, there have been overt and secret impositions, pressures and oppressions against the principles and criteria of Islam in every century. With the Furkan Movement explaining tawhid and criticizing it from all quarters on issues contrary to Islam, some dark forces that are hostile to Islam targeted the Furkan movement and embarked on projects to intimidate the people with obstructions and to create a perception.
When Did the First Restrictions on the Furkan Movement Start?
110 Conference Banned Unjustly
The Furkan Movement is for the disintegrated and fragmented ummah to stand up again and regain its strength; On the one hand, he believes that he is dependent on the upbringing of a generation that has acquired the qualification of an intellectual and, on the other hand, a scholar. It carries out its work with this understanding. Alparslan Kuytul Hodja, who gives scientific lectures, on the one hand, responds to the needs of the society by organizing public conferences, both at home and abroad, so that the Islamic Civilization can be built just like the Companions generation, but with an educated and action spirit. working to create. While all of our conferences and rallies were welcomed and requested by the public until 2014, all the conferences we wanted to hold started to be canceled without any justification or for some unofficial reasons, despite all the necessary official permissions from 2014 onwards.
Due to the explanation of Tawhid to the masses at the conferences; Unfortunately, since 2014, we have witnessed closely that the truth of tawhid is not wanted to be reminded and that the sovereignty of Allah in Allah's world is not desired. The starting point of the persecution of the Islamic Movement in Turkey was gradually revealed in 2014 with the blocking of the Conference. Disgraceful balance sheet for the rule of law in the process of Conference Blockings:

Iskenderun Conference Blocked by TOMA and Pepper Sprays
The conference blockades imposed on the Furkan Movement as of 2014 increased in severity in the following years. By 29 May 2016, Furkan Movement volunteers were brought face to face with the security forces in a planned manner, creating an atmosphere of hostility. The press release and the right to travel by the Furkan Movement were responded to with TOMA and pepper spray. Despite all these obstacles, a group that knew what they were doing determinedly did not turn away from their path. Thousands of people who insisted on clearing the road and only making a press statement were intervened by spraying tear gas, water cannon and throwing tear gas into the air. Affected by the gas released into the air, women, children and men who were exposed to this persecution were hospitalized. During the brawl, a citizen's leg was also broken. As clean people who have never faced the police even once in their lives, they did not expect to be treated this way by our police. Combat, pepper spray, water cannons, guns, armed forces… As a result of the determination and rightful resistance of thousands of Furkan Volunteers, a press statement was allowed from the Hatay Governor's Office in the center of Iskenderun. Thousands of people were transferred with the security forces to the area allocated in the Station Square in Iskenderun. The canceled conference program was held as a rally after a great struggle, and the press statement with the participation of thousands of people ended without incident.

Blessed Birth Programs Have Been Hit
The Furkan Movement aims to remember the Messenger of Allah and to ensure that he and his cause are understood. He wanted to carry out the blessed birth program with the theme "The Prophet" as every year. However, the owner of the wedding hall, which was arranged and allocated beforehand, was threatened by some people and wanted to prevent the hall from being given to the Furkan Foundation. After the Wedding Hall was canceled by the decision of the Adana Governorship, new applications were made to perform the program at the Mimar Sinan Open Air Theatre. Despite the permission of Adana Metropolitan Municipality, the program, which was expected to have a participation of approximately 10,000 people, was not allowed to be held at the Mimar Sinan Open Air Theatre. 10 thousand people who participated in the press release, including Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi and Semra Kuytul Hocahanım, were brutally intervened on the grounds that they were unauthorized. The biggest persecution that came to the fore in these events and was remembered was the removal of a headscarf by female police (!) despite the fact that a woman wearing a hijab had said "stop and wait" during the brawl!
The Furkan Foundation Building was raided with the January 30 Operation
The Iskenderun Incident and the April 22 Incident had gone through a difficult struggle that would go down in history and resonate. On Tuesday, January 30, at around 05:30 in the morning, with the order of the Adana Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, Adana Police TEM Branch conducted a raid on the Furkan Foundation building with a dawn operation. Even though there was no sign of resistance, the doors of the headquarters of the foundation were entered by trying to break the doors of the foundation with rams.
The fact that hundreds of police officers participated in the operation with such heavy weapons both made us think and drew a lot of attention. This situation was met with condemnation by the citizens who knew the real purpose and activities of the Furkan Foundation. Because it was known that these images and treatments were intended to create the perception of "dangerous foundations and dangerous people" in people's minds.
Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi and Furkan volunteers, who spent their lives serving Islam and aiming to raise a benevolent generation, were detained at around 05:30 in the operation carried out by the special operations teams at their homes.
Despite the fact that the search work was completed in the foundation building and nothing that could constitute a crime was found, the barrier to entry to the foundation continued.
The door of the foundation was not only locked, but the police surrounded the foundation with TOMAs and waited. With this, an attempt was made to spread fear to Furkan volunteers and the surrounding citizens.
Islamic lessons, charity bazaars, aid activities for the poor, orphans and needy people were banned.
The official website of the Furkan Foundation, the educational website where Islamic lessons are taught, the official Facebook accounts of the Furkan Foundation and Alparslan Kuytul were blocked by the BTK, and access was blocked.
Therefore, citizens' access to accurate information about the Furkan Foundation's operation and its background was restricted from its original source, and that its fans were informed about the events.
A trustee was appointed to the Furkan Foundation, which was established with the sacrifice and sincerity of many people.
All kinds of activities of Furkan Foundation volunteers that they did or could do to protest were banned by the dark deep committee.
He started to seal the homes of Furkan volunteers, whose spouses were detained after a raid, saying "representative of the foundation".
Foundations and associations in about 30 provinces, whose name is Furkan, and which are claimed to be close to the Furkan Foundation, were also banned from operating.
Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi and 4 of his friends were detained.
The houses of students and two families residing in Adana were sealed, along with 17 apartments, alleging that it was the dormitory of the Furkan Foundation.
Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi, who was released, was arrested again within 24 hours.
With the January 30 operation, Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi was released after staying in Bolu F-type prison for 22 months.

The Chain of Worship Due to the Pandemic: The Struggle for Taraweeh
When a few Furkan Volunteers wanted to perform the tarawih prayer in Adana, observing the social distance rules, the police came to the prayer area and intervened by using violence and detained them. A similar incident took place in Antep, and the police intervened against the Furkan Volunteers by force. Furkan Volunteers, who wanted to keep the spirit of Ramadan alive by paying attention to the social distance rules, taking the necessary precautions and opening the mosques for worship, were exposed to various pressures and injustices.
Muslims who hanged a tarpaulin special for the month of Ramadan, were detained and fined. For this reason, Furkan Gönülleri was subjected to detentions and threats in many provinces, and their rights were violated.
A notice was sent to the houses where the university students, who are Furkan volunteers and have a conversation, wanted to be closed, and fear was created.
Police forces detained Furkan Volunteer by using force and battering him for wanting to perform tarawih prayers in open areas by obeying the distance rules.
The bodies of some of the Furkan Volunteers, whose faces were covered in blood, were damaged, fractures and bruises occurred.
The Furkan volunteers, who were besieged by the police teams, once again managed to defend their rights without being provoked. Despite the hours of waiting, there was not the slightest outburst. The news about the "Prayer Provocation in Adana" on the social media about the Furkan Volunteers was revealed to be unfounded and the fake news exploded in their hands once again.
Furkan Volunteers once again showed all of Turkey what it means to seek justice without being provoked.
Alparslan Kuytul Hodja and Furkan Volunteers, who can see the big picture by correctly reading the oppression and persecution that have been going on for a long time in the country, and try to wake up the Muslims against the ringing alarm bells, this struggle is not with the aim of provoking/provoking the people, on the contrary, it is to revive our spiritual values that are tried to be forgotten with the excuse of the virus and to revive the Ramadan. It was a struggle to resurrect his soul…

The Chain of Worship with the Pandemic: Struggle for Itikaf
It experienced a first in the persecution process that continues to increase in Turkey and simultaneous raids were carried out on mosques during Ramadan. Furkan Volunteers, knowing the encouragement of the Presidency of Religious Affairs due to the circumcision of the Messenger of Allah in the last 10 days of Ramadan, applied to the necessary authorities to perform Itikaf prayers and went to the mosque to enter Itikaf in the mosques determined by the Diyanet. All over Turkey, mosques were visited at the designated points to enter Itikaf. Although there was no problem on the first day of Itikaf in Adana, Furkan Volunteers in 2 different mosques faced the disproportionate intervention of the Police before they realized what was happening on the first day of Itikaf worship in Gaziantep. Security forces, who entered the place of worship of Muslims with their boots, forced the citizens who were praying inside the mosque out of the mosque by spraying pepper gas and battering them. Then, batons, beatings, pepper spray and insults continued one after another. Furkan Volunteers, who wanted to perform Itikaf prayers in the mosque, did not show any resistance against this treatment. Despite this, a total of 56 people were taken into custody in a scandalous manner. This mind-blowing event in Gaziantep entered the world's agenda on social media and the unfair treatment inflicted as a result of the reactions of sensitive people was inexplicably exposed. As a result of the reactions, the Gaziantep Provincial Police Chief asked for his retirement, but was actually dismissed.
A group of 60 detained people were kept in a small detention vehicle for 15 hours in a hot city like Adana. Another group was kept in the sun in the garden of the Police, although they were fasting. After the detention period due to Itikaf worship, the Prosecutor demanded an arrest for Furkan Volunteers on the grounds of "resistance to not do their duty" and referred them to the Criminal Judgeship of Peace. However, despite the police entering mosques with dozens of cameras in their hands, it was not specified who resisted which officer to not do their duty, and not even a single piece of evidence, witness or footage was presented to show that they were resisting. Despite this, they were demanded to be arrested with unfounded slander and were referred to the court. As a result, the Magistrate on Duty released Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi and the 3 people accompanying him on the condition of judicial control.
Even though the mosques are the places where the rules are followed the most, both during the pandemic and during the measures, it was perceived as a threat (!) enough to activate the entire Security, even though it was said by the Minister of Internal Affairs and that even though it was completely isolated in Itikaf, 5-10 people entered Itikaf in huge mosques! While violations were ignored in many areas witnessed by the entire public - in congresses, public transport, hotels - the holy places of Islam, mosques and Muslims were attacked on the pretext of the pandemic ban.

Legitimate Press Releases Brutally Denied -Erzin Incident -
The situation in which Islamic activities, which have been suppressed for about 7 years, have come to pass, once again made history in Hatay/Erzin on September 10, 2020. The 8th hearing of the court regarding the police intervention against Furkan Volunteers, who wanted to make a press statement about the "Happy Birthday Conference", which was canceled at the last minute 5 years ago, was held on September 10 and the court decided to postpone it once again. Citizens who want to make a press statement after the court in Erzin where 24 people were tried; First, the police chiefs gave permission for "you can", and after a short time, they were forced to go to a remote part of the district and make a press statement, saying, "We have been instructed, you can't do it". On that day, 80 people, 71 men and 9 women, were detained in Erzin. The detainees were taken to a gym in Erzin instead of being taken to the hospital for a health check. The Forensic doctor was brought to the gym to control this unlawfulness. Another situation that was recorded as unlawful was the doctor's preparation of a report in the presence of hundreds of policemen. Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi, who shared about the incident on his Twitter account, went to the scene to support his brothers who experienced this persecution. However, Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi and many people accompanying him were illegally prevented from entering the city. Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi stated that they would not leave until his brothers were released.
Before Hodjaefendi had not finished his speech, the security forces began to intervene. The police, who surrounded the people who were there and narrowed the circle, started hitting them with batons without distinguishing between men and women. The police, who decided to reconcile hours after all these unlawfulnesses, accelerated the procedures at the police station and released 80 citizens, 9 of whom were women, as they should have been.
Alparslan Kuytul Hocaefendi and hundreds of Furkan Volunteers accompanying him reached Adana in convoys after his brothers were released.

Torturing Police, Ordered Judiciary, and Sold Media Conspiracy to Islamic Movement
On Friday, September 10, 3 Furkan volunteers were detained by the Adana Police for an unknown reason, without any explanation to them, their families and their lawyers. After the lawyers of our brothers were taken inside after a struggle, some scandalous facts that the police had hidden from their families, lawyers and relatives for hours came to light. It was understood that a conspiracy was set up against the Furkan Volunteers over a kidnapped businessman. On top of the whole unlawful process, they tortured people that disregarded human dignity and dignity. They made immoral threats by searching naked, beating naked and making immoral threats while in this state, saying, "We'll castrate you, stick you with truncheons, we'll do worse tomorrow and you won't be able to stand it". It was revealed that they were kicking, slapping, punching and dragging him on the floor, Flooding his Mouth Making It Difficult To Breathe And thus forcing him to confess to a crime that had nothing to do with them.
Rumeysa Sarısaçlı Hocahanım, the wife of the kidnapped businessman, made a statement to the public: “The detained Furkan Volunteers are our family friends, people we love. They are not the people who would ever attempt such an event and they have nothing to do with it. Police should immediately release the Furkan Volunteers and go after the real perpetrators.” Despite this statement, we see that the Police did not focus on who had kidnapped the person who was the subject of the incident and tried to pin the incident on Furkan Volunteers.
Furkan Volunteers, who have been making statements on the official site for more than ten days, were never given a microphone and the media, which was sourced from the UAV, served the fictional text and montage video prepared to lie to the public. Businessman Koray S., who has been missing for 14 days, returned to his home on Tuesday, September 21 and explained his experiences in a video statement. He testified at the prosecutor's office, saying that the abduction had nothing to do with the Furkan Volunteers.
The incident of the disappeared businessman, who has been on the agenda of Turkey since September 10, 2021, is still being tried to be brought down on Furkan Volunteers. With the emergence of the missing businessman and the striking statements he made, the agenda did not change and smear campaigns were still continued through Furkan volunteers. In order to discredit the Furkan movement, which has gained increasing popularity in recent years, in the eyes of the society, some dark forces wanted to achieve their goals by directing the police, the judiciary and the media, which are the most important institutions of the society. With the last event we experienced, it was seen that the content of dependent media institutions and organizations that serve certain powers, away from research, full of lies and slander, once again did not serve the desired purposes with the emergence of the truth...
[For 3 FG Details]
We would like it to be known about all our processes in which persecution has increased and injustices have been clearly revealed; Our actions, our voices against injustices, the reactions we have shown both in the squares and in the social media have never been done by going out of the line of Islam or by going beyond legitimacy in terms of law.
