A protest is scheduled for November 2, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. in front of the Süreyya Opera House on General Asim Gunduz Avenue in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul. The gathering aims to denounce alleged negligence that, one year ago, led to the death of a student in an accident at a state university. As November 2 marks the anniversary of this tragic event, the expected number of participants remains uncertain at this time.
Turkish authorities plan to enhance security around the protest site to anticipate potential disruptions. Local traffic disturbances are also likely, with risks of minor confrontations between protesters and law enforcement or opponents. This gathering is part of a broader context of increased mobilization in Istanbul’s iconic neighborhoods, such as Kadikoy and Besiktas, where various groups have recently organized protests on social and political issues.
