Aylisi has been subject to a government-sanctioned public harassment campaign since the publication of his novella Stone Dreams in 2012. He is currently on trial for charges of 'hooliganism' and resisting arrest under Article 315.1 of the Criminal Code, which could lead to a prison sentence of up to three years. He is currently subject to a local and international travel ban and his identity documents were confiscated, which prevents him from accessing needed health care services.
