İzzethan Aykut has been held at Afyonkarahisar No. 1 T-Type Closed Prison for approximately 30 years and was not released despite completing the required period of enforcement of his life sentence. Aykut was due to be released on 16 September 2026; however, the Administration and Observation Board postponed his release for three months on the grounds that he was “not of good conduct.” The decision was taken by a majority of the Board. The prisoner suffers from health problems including heart failure, liver failure, chronic asthma, a respiratory condition and vertigo, as well as a long-standing skin condition. Previous records by the Human Rights Association (İHD) stated that Aykut had suffered from asthma since childhood, required treatment for his respiratory condition, and needed treatment at a university hospital for vitiligo. According to current medical reports, his liver failure, chronic respiratory condition and asthma continue.
