Students staying at the Sultan Çelebi Mehmet KYK Dormitory in Edirne began a protest this evening due to ongoing water cuts that have lasted for days. The complete cut of hot water, which has only been available for certain hours for a long time, has pushed the students to their limits.
SHOUTS OF "RESIGNATION" ECHOED IN THE GARDEN
In the evening hours, dozens of students gathered in front of the building where the dormitory management is located. With slogans like "Management resign!", "Water is our right, we will take it by force!", "We will win by resisting!", the students expressed their determination to make their voices heard.
POLICE WERE SENT TO THE AREA
Following the escalation of the protest, a large number of police and riot control teams were dispatched to the area after a report from the dormitory management. Security measures around the dormitory were increased.
"HOT WATER IS NOT A LUXURY, IT'S A BASIC RIGHT"
This protest at the Sultan Çelebi Mehmet KYK Dormitory has once again brought the increasing dormitory issues across Turkey to the forefront. The hashtag #KYKdaSuYok quickly became a trend on social media, with students conveying the message, "Hot water is not a luxury, it is a human right."
In recent months, students have repeatedly expressed their reactions due to hot water cuts, heating problems, electrical failures, and cleanliness inadequacies in KYK dormitories in many cities. The recent incident in Edirne has once again highlighted that these issues remain unresolved.
