The organization said it had been submitting written applications and complaints to the university administration for several months regarding the deteriorating law and order situation on campus, the movement of outside elements, and the possibility of clashes.
According to the statement, the administration had been clearly warned that if timely and effective measures were not taken, the university’s academic environment could be affected. However, it alleged that these serious concerns were ignored.

The statement said that if the law is equal for everyone, action should also be taken without discrimination and based on facts.
The organization demanded the immediate release of the arrested workers, an independent, transparent, and impartial investigation into the incident, and indiscriminate action against all those found responsible.
