10 students detained in protest against Erdogan

International

 

Police clashed on Tuesday with a group of ODTÜ students who protested Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to their university. Ten students in Ankara have been detained for their alleged involvement in a clash with police after staging a protest against a visit by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to their university on Tuesday, with the interior minister admitting that police officers sometime use a disproportionate amount of force.

Teams from the Ankara Police Department’s counterterrorism unit raided the students’ housing blocks early on Friday and took 10 of them into custody.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Interior Minister İdris Naim Şahin admitted that police officers sometimes use a disproportionate amount of force and are being rightly criticized.

“This casts a shadow over the image of both the state and its police forces,” Şahin stated.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli criticized the media on Friday, saying it does not report protests or clashes at universities accurately, and this may further provoke people.
