Students rally to mark 37th year since teen Eren’s execution
STUDENTS and young people gathered in cities across Turkey yesterday to mark the anniversary of revolutionary student leader Erdal Eren’s execution.
It was the 37th anniversary of the death of Mr Eren, who was hanged by the military regime that seized power in the 1980 coup.
He was a member of the Patriotic Revolutionary Youth Association and was arrested during protests over the murder of student Sinan Suner prior to the coup.
