4 of my students from the Bogazici Univ. (@UniBogazici @unibogazici_en) Art Collective are in custody since last night. They're being accused of "insulting religious beliefs" (TR Penal Code 216/3) for exhibiting a collage art piece on campus. We demand their immediate release!

Boğaziçi Rector Melih Bulu also links an artistic depiction of the Kaaba (see my previous tweet with it in) to a homophobic hashtag linking it to the LGBT community. They have been waiting for this chance to demonise the protestors. https://t.co/u7HyrpjNjR
