Claim: Student who removed Erdoğan poster in Antalya suspended from school

The Ministry of National Education's directive to hang posters of AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan alongside the Turkish flag continues to spark debate across the country. One of the most notable reactions to this practice took place in Antalya. During a ceremony held at Bileydi Anatolian High School, students protested the decision with applause.

While students in the schoolyard continued their protest during the ceremony, a student pulled Erdoğan's poster inside through a classroom window. By folding the poster, the student made the image on it invisible.

PENALTY DRAWS REACTION

The footage, which spread rapidly on social media, caused a major stir. According to a report in Sözcü, it is alleged that the student who removed the poster was referred to the disciplinary board by the school administration and received a suspension.

It is claimed that school principal Gökmen Güler described the student's behavior as "disrespectful" and requested that disciplinary action be taken.

"AN ACT COMMITTED AGAINST OUR STATE"

AKP Antalya Provincial Youth Branch President Niyazi Alkan, in a statement regarding the incident, said, "This unconscious act is an act committed against our state and our nation."
