Attention please
Studyblrs and academics: If you’re keeping up with Turkish news or have Turkish mutuals posting about some issues, you may have seen the hashtag #AşağıBakmayacağız (we won’t look down) trending.
Right now, many students and protesters are being subjected to police brutality and injustice due to the recent events happening in one of Turkey’s most prestigious colleges, Boğazici University.
The only thing they want to is the decision to vote for their own warden. They don’t want any political influence in their university. We, as international students around the globe should also agree on this because academic buildings should be a free place where you can think about what you want. Freedom.
I’ve seen images and been told that students feel uncomfortable because on the roofs of buildings around the university, there has been snipers. They feel threatened.
This isn’t how you should treat your youth. This isn’t how you should treat anyone. They just ask for simple democracy rights. Calling them out for ‘terrorists’ or people who want to ‘ruin’ the country. It’s so dangerous to call your own future, own youth words like that.
It’s time to reblog this important post about what is going on in Turkey. I’ve been posting about it many, many times but I don’t get enough attention of both communities I’m in and I really want you all to share it and pay attention for our fellow Turkish students.
