Currently there is no description available for European Union.
“The European Union is deeply concerned about the negative developments in Turkey in the areas of the rule of law, human rights and the judiciary. In this regard, the detention of more than a hundred students exercising their legal right to freedom of assembly, as well as the decision of the Governor of Istanbul to ban all meetings, demonstrations and marches in two areas covering the hinterland of Boğazi University is a deeply worrying development, and runs counter to the authorities' stated commitment to reform to EU values and standards. The COVID-19 pandemic cannot be used as a means of silencing critical voices. Hate speech used by high-ranking officials against LGBTI students during these events and the closure of an LGBTI association is unacceptable.”
