Academics from France have made a statement of solidarity with the arrested rights advocate, businessperson Osman Kavala: “Like other intellectuals from Turkey, Osman Kavala has been left alone in a country which continues to oppress oppositional academics, imprison journalists”.

International academics, most of them working in France, criticized arbitrary arrests and other repressions applied to academics in Turkey. They warned that academic freedom was unacceptably restricted and called on academics all over the world to join their work group.
