Tens of thousands to flock to Saraçhane

STUDENTS AT THE VENUE

Meanwhile, the students who were at the forefront of the 19 March protests are taking to the streets on 18 and 19 March this year. On 18 March at 7.30 pm, young people will gather at the site where the barricade was dismantled in front of the Istanbul University staff canteen and march to Beyazıt Square. On 19 March, young people will gather at the same location and hold a student gathering in Beyazıt Square. Following the revocation of Ekrem İmamoğlu’s degree, the degree of Galatasaray University Lecturer Prof. Dr. Aylin Atalay Saybaşılı was also revoked. Support actions for Saybaşılı at the university had turned into a prolonged academic boycott, taking place simultaneously with other institutions.

The Galatasaray University Student Council has also called on all university students to join a united youth struggle on the first anniversary of 19 March under the slogan “We Can Do It Again”.
