Last night, a group of fascist AKP/MHP students attacked Kurdish students at the state-run Turgutreis Boys' Dormitory located in the Kötekli neighbourhood of Muğla's Menteşe district. According to the information obtained from the students, a group of fascists threatened and attacked the Kurdish students who had attended the Newroz celebration held on March 20. The next day in the morning, a student named Barış Aşit Akan was taken into custody on the grounds that he had started a quarrel in the dormitory. He was later released.

The Kurdish students who are frequently threatened by the fascists were attacked last night by nearly 100 fascists with sharp objects. A fight broke out between the students who defended themselves and the fascists. Four students were injured by the fascist attackers.

 KURDISH STUDENTS UNDER DETENTION, NOT THE ATTACKERS

While nobody from the fascist group that attacked the Kurdish students was detained after the incident, Kurdish students Barış Aşit Akan, Civan Hasan Adlığ, Nurullah Yıldız, Zana Karaarslan and Sait Çelik were detained by the police. They were taken to the Ula District Police Department.

Furthermore, the fascists entered the dormitory after the incident and threw out the belongings of the detained students.

An investigation into the attack has been launched.
