The Telegraph reports that hundreds of pro-democracy protestors were arrested last night in Istanbul. Protests have been ongoing for over a month, but this week they focused on the appointment of Melihu Bulu as the new rector of BoÄaziçi University. Bulu was appointed in early January without any consultation with the universityâs faculty or administration, which caused anger across the student population. Some students suggested Bulu is responsible for the escalation in violence towards the protestors. This week protestors were hit with plastic bullets and pepper spray.
The Independent reports that Turkeyâs Interior Minister called the protesting students âLGBT pervertsâ on his twitter, prompting the company to limit access to his profile.
