Police detain dozens of students protesting in front of the Istanbul courthouse against the detention of Bogazici university students. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's appointment of a loyalist as rector of Istanbul's elite Bogazici University created a stir and led to weeks of protests since the start of the year. The dispute over the rector intensified after protesters hung a controversial poster near his office and now Turkish prosecutors are seeking three-year jail terms for seven students over a poster depicting Islam's holiest site with LGBT imagery.
