On the anniversary of the Massacre of 16March 1977, an important historical day of struggle for the students in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, hundreds of students took to the streets to demand justice.
Istanbul, Eskisehir, Mersin, Izmir, Hatay, Konya, Adana and Canakkale were some of the cities where protest actions were carried out.
In Hatay, the special security forces (OGB) of the university attacked the students, which were followed by the gendarmerie forces who came to the university to stop the protest. {divide}
Different representatives of HDK participated at the actions to support the students.
At the actions, the last decision of the courts to set free the committers of the Sivas Massacre due to the lapse of time was also protested. It was stressed that the case against the responsible ones for the Massacre of March 16 was also abated due to the same reason and that the state protects the murderers, since it is the real organiser of these massacres.
