The owners of the Hayatın Sesi TV, Mustafa Kara and İsmail Gökhan Bayram and General Director Gökhan Çetin, charged with 3 years and 9 months of imprisonment with claims that they have been “aggregately spreading propaganda of ISIS, PKK and TAK”. Hayatın Sesi TV was closed with emergency decrees of law (KHK) after the coup attempt in July 2016.

Istanbul Public Prosecutor Fahrettin Kemal Yerli, who prepared the indictment, claims that ISID, TAK, and PKK propaganda were carried out in the publication of Hayatın Sesi TV channel. Among the accusations that are subject to the indictment are the last minute and live broadcast news about the incident on October 10, the Ankara Massacre, Ankara Güvenpark on March 13, 2016, and the bombing attack on Taksim Square on March 19, 2016. Yerli demanded the punishment of Kara, Bayram and Çetin by interpreting the publication of the images as "serving as a terrorist organization for the purpose and making propaganda of the organization".
