Breaking: ASUA passes Shafak-support resolution (updated)

Posted by Garrett P. O'Hara
Filed under: international, First Amendment, ASUA, Elif Shafak

Update (9/1): A second source has corroborated the story.  Stand by for text.

A credible source tells me that the ASUA Senate has just passed a resolution in support of UA assistant professor of Near Eastern Studies Elif Shafak.  Shafak is currently awaiting her Sept. 12th trial (with child, mind you) for "insulting Turkishness."

Major kudos to ASUA for standing up for our people.

  2. I don’t know. This is only by word of mouth, but the source is credible.
