TURKISH prosecutors have opened investigations into nine students who allegedly refused to stand up and sing the national anthem at an event supporting the country’s illegal war on northern Syria.
The students were suspended by Mersin University for a month for their actions and now face charges of “public humiliation of the national anthem.”
University authorities have also evicted one of the students, Huseyin Kartal, from campus accommodation.
