Documentarian Can Candan @yunusunbabasi has been unjustly dismissed for the third time(!!) from his position at Boğaziçi University. We hosted Prof. Candan for a screening of Benim Çocuğum (My Child), and stand in solidarity. #KabulEtmiyorVazGeçmiyoruz #WeDoNotAcceptWeDoNotGiveUp

Since the appointment of a trustee rector to @unibogazici_en in 2021, I’ve been dismissed from my position twice and have been reinstated twice following court decisions annulling those dismissals. On July 16, 2023, I’ve been unjustly and unlawfully dismissed for the 3rd time!
