A total of 26 people who handed out leaflets at Ege University to protest the decree have been released, while Ulaş Yıldırım from the Revolutionary Youth Union was arrested.
Following proceedings at the prosecutor's office and the duty court, Yıldırım was sent to Şakran Closed Prison on charges of 'violating the law on assemblies and protest marches' and 'resisting the police'. Youth organizations held a press statement in front of the Türkan Saylan Cultural Center demanding Yıldırım's release.
