Dormitory

The students at a girls' dormitory in which a fire killed 12 people on Nov. 29 in Adana were subjected to violence and forced to do cleaning in the facility, according a report prepared by the Social Rights Association (SHD). 

The association prepared a report about the deadly dormitory fire after interviewing the parents of eight children who were killed in the blaze.

A group of female students at Karadeniz Technical University have protested the dark roads leading to their dormitories using flash lamps in the Black Sea province of Trabzon. 

The students said the lighting of the road was not sufficient enough and demanded that authorities place streetlights on the road.

University students residing in a public dormitory in the eastern province of Elazığ took to the streets late on Oct. 11 to protest the conditions of their dormitory in the wake of a series of protests at dormitories elsewhere in the country.

Some 250 residents of a public girls' dormitory in the Kozlu district of the northern Turkish province of Zonguldak staged a protest in front of their building on the night of Oct. 10, saying the administration cannot provide their security as two student residents were kidnapped over the last four days. 

The For the University Movement, the leftist student group that has been spearheading the opposition against the law, called on students to gather on Tuesday afternoon in front of parliament despite the summer recess.
