A trustee was appointed to replace her and later on November 26, Özaydın was arrested by the court with the accusation of 'being a member of an illegal organization'. The indictment against Özaydın was accepted by Mardin 2nd High Criminal Court.
 
In the indictment where Özaydın was accused of attending to the activities of her party, the activities of the women's collective the women in the city initiated, the Sarya Women's Cooperative had also been a subject to the charges. The indictment referred to the concepts of 'Assembly, commune, economy and cooperative' as 'KCK structuring'.
