While no direct news has been received from the leader for over a year (since 25 March 2021), a new 6-month ban on lawyers has been imposed on him before the expiry of the old one.

The old ban on lawyers expired on 22 April. However, the application made by the lawyers to Bursa Execution Judgeship on 29 April was rejected.

According to Firat News Agency, it was stated that the reason for the refusal was a new 6-month lawyer visit ban, which was imposed on him on 13 April. No information was given to the lawyers about the reason for the ban.

The ban decision ended on 22 April without notifying the lawyers who appealed to the Bursa Execution Judge on 6 May.

According to a previous statement of Al- Asr Office during the past 11 years, only five meets with lawyers were conducted in 2019, as they took place within four months.

While it has not been allowed to hold a meeting with lawyers since August 7, 2019, and with families, since March 3, 2020 until now.
