On March 19, 2025, the current Mayor of İstanbul was arrested for no reason other than being the main challenger to the sitting president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. At the forefront of the protests that followed the arrest were college students and other youth, seeking a life beyond the increasing authoritarianism, censorship, poverty, and decline of human rights that Erdoğan's 23-year reign has brought.

In retaliation, we have faced police violence, mass arrests, beatings, and torture in detention. Yet we are still going strong — with boycotts, sit-ins, and marches, civil disobedience is blooming again after many years.

Keep us in your thoughts. We will prevail.
