As previously reported, UA assistant Near Eastern studies professor Elif Shafak’s trial is scheduled for Sept. 21st in Istanbul.  Turns out that her baby is due four days later.  Still yet, the court won’t give her a new trial.

Still nothing from UA or the Wildcat. Pathetic.

  1. I like the new digs! I’ll update my blogroll.

    How odd that UA press doesn’t cover this professor’s plight.
