SHAFAK ACQUITTED!!
Consider the university community very relieved. The Wildcat just broke the story that Elif Shafak has been acquitted of her charge of "insulting Turkishness." I imagine she is now breathing a huge sigh of relief alongsider her husband and newborn daughter.
Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out how traditionalist Turks can characterize the EU as Nazis for their views on freedom of speech. I tried to find a second source of these flags and only found one concerning 1999 Yugoslavia.
