Osman dipenjarakan sejak 2017 dan didakwa membiayai tunjuk perasaan di seluruh negara pada 2013 serta terlibat dalam rampasan kuasa 2016.Menurut Recep Tayyip, kesemua duta tersebut sepatutnya sudah memahami keadaan di negara Turki.Kesemua duta tersebut mengeluarkan kenyataan bersama Isnin lalu mengenai penahanan berterusan aktivis kelahiran Paris itu.
