İSTANBUL - Taken into custody for allegedly administering the “Boğaziçi Solidarity” Twitter account, Beyza Buldağ has been arrested for “provoking the public to hatred, enmity and hostility” and “provoking to commit crimes.”

 
Beyza Buldağ, a student of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University (MSGSÜ) Cinema and Television department, has been arrested as part of the investigation launched into the protests against the appointment of Prof. Melih Bulu as the new rector of Boğaziçi University.
 
With the arrest of Buldağ, the number of people arrested for joining and supporting the Boğaziçi University protests has increased to ten.
 
During her interrogation by the prosecutor, it was alleged that Beyza Buldağ was administering the Twitter account of the "Boğaziçi Solidarity" platform (@boundayanisma), which has recently addressed an open letter to the "12th President of Turkey" amid the protests.
 
Accordingly, Buldağ was accused of "insulting the President" over this open letter addressed to ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Chair and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Buldağ was also charged with "provoking the public to enmity, hatred and hostility" and "provoking to commit crimes" over other posts shared by the account.
 
After she gave her statement at the prosecutor's office, the office referred Beyza Buldağ to court, requesting her arrest for "provoking the public to enmity, hatred and hostility" and "provoking to commit crimes."
 
Testifying before the İstanbul 7th Penal Judgeship of Peace, Buldağ has been arrested on the offenses charged.
