In the third month of Kavaklık resistance raised by the students of METU against the construction of a state dormitory on poplar woods at their campus, the District Municipality of Çankaya has taken down minutes for the demolition of unauthorized buildings.

Reporters Sand Frontiers released a statement, saying that recent protests across Turkey left at least 12 journalists injured in Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara.

Last night, several demonstrations across Turkey were held to to commemorate Ahmet Atakan - a METU Resistance protestor who died on Monday night. Police response came in the form of tear gas and water cannons.

“There is no evidence that supports Ahmet Atakan’s death with fall. How does the governor know his cause of death?” said Hatay Chamber of Medicines Chairman Selim Matkap after attending METU Resistance protestor Ahmet Atakan’s autopsy early this morning.
