There is no doubt that this reflects Trump's envision about #Turkey and their complicity in the coup. But the people will tear those plans to shreds.

The X account of the most prominent femicide observatory in Turkey "We Will Stop Femicide Platform" is withheld due to the state`s legal demand. @GlobalAffairs Is this how you implement your recently released statement claiming to protect the freedom of expression

Okay, we need a Turkey Protests starter kit here to welcome people
Tweet goes: @ivmehareketi: Elon Musk claims to defend free speech, but today he enables authoritarian censorship in Turkey by blocking access to critical accounts on X. This is a global issue. We call on journalists, activists, and the public worldwide to hold him accountable today. #Censorship #FreeSpeech Qt: Elon Musk's social media platform X has suspended several accounts belonging to opposition figures in Turkey amid widespread civil unrest in the country.

Google translate translates it as "child" but the tweet is about a university student who got very badly effected by pepper spray yesterday night during the protests in Ankara, METU.
#istanbul #odtü #metu #turkey #turkiye #veganism
Tweet reads: "There was a kid who was badly affected by pepper spray. He could not open his eyes. His whole face was red. They tried to make him drink milk. He said he could not drink it because he was vegan. That's what I'm thinking..."

Everything will be... alright.
Ekrem İmamoğlu: The will of the people cannot be silenced through intimidation or unlawful acts. I stand resolute, entrusting myself not only to the 16 million residents of Istanbul but to the 86 million citizens of Türkiye and all who uphold democracy and justice worldwide. I stand firm in my fight for the fundamental rights and freedoms.

Now this is beyond outrageous.
iData, the sole authority authorized for Italian visas in Turkey, announced that it has stopped accepting visa applications from students wishing to study at a university in the country. According to the announcement made by iData, visa applications will not be accepted "under any circumstances" for three-year undergraduate, graduate, Erasmus programs, single-course university courses and programs in the field of art and music .

Heathers under the subway seats, a terrible idea. They get way too hot when you sit down. Very uncomfortable. #marmaray

It is outrageous that students accepted into the #Erasmus student exchange program, an EU initiative promoting education and cultural exchange, are being denied student visas by the Consulate of Italy in Turkey. #academicsky

Members of the Italy-Turkey Friendship Association supported the protest of Turkish students and parents at Ca' Foscari University in Venice by unfurling a banner on the university building that read "Turkish students are welcome."

FYI:
#humanrights #turkey #Azerbaijan
Today, over 100 people were arrested in Istanbul for defying a ban on demonstrations marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Among those detained is prominent Azerbaijani queer activist Eli Melikov, along with a trans comrade. We are deeply alarmed for their safety and well-being, as we have been unable to establish proper contact with Ali since their arrest. Ali and their comrade are isolated, with limited access to legal support, making them vulnerable to further risks, including possible deportation. This is an urgent situation that demands our collective action and solidarity. We demand their safe release immediately! We urgently call on local and international queer activists, organizations, legal professionals, and allies to: !!! Monitor Ali’s case, help locate them, and keep pressure on authorities. !!! Provide immediate legal assistance to protect their rights and ensure fair treatment. !!! Amplify this message widely on social media to raise awareness and build support. Ali is a courageous advocate for queer rights and a symbol of resilience for our community. Their arrest is not just an attack on them but on all of us who stand for justice and equality.
