According to Boğaziçi Solidarity group, at least 35 students have been detained for calling on the authorities to release Anıl Akyüz and Şilan Delpata from custody.

Akyüz and Delpata were previously arrested for participating in the protests against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's appointment of a party member as a rector to Boğaziçi University.

Ahead of the two students' hearing at the Kartal Courthouse on April 2, Boğaziçi Solidarity group announced a protest in the Kadıköy district.

Upon this call, several students gathered in front of Rexx Cinema and shouted slogans of “We will take Anıl and Şilan.”
