Saying that all his belongings were stormed during the raid, Güneş said: “They took all our books, writings, belongings and materials. They battered our friends. Now we are far from each other. On the other hand, they opened investigations on our friends and do not release them. Many friends needed to be released, but they are not releasing them either.They are trying to provoke and attack us. We have no life safety. If a problem arises here, the prison administration and the government is responsible. What happened in Bafra Prison is 'oppression'." Güneş's brother Servet Güneş said: I am always behind my brother. The path he took is an honorable path for me. My brother defended his own language and honor, and continues to walk for this cause.
