Educators Nursel Tanrıverdi and Selvi Polat, who protested at Bakırköy Square for their re-employment since February 20, 2017 after their dismissal from public service with emergency decrees, were arrested by Bakırköy 1st Criminal Judicature of Peace due to “organizing illegal meetings and demonstrations.” The two names were previously arrested and were put on trial and were acquitted on February 14th. The decree that stated that the two names “cannot approach Bakırköy Square closer than 200 meters” was also reversed by the court. The educators were arrested this time due to noncompliance with the judicial measure decree, “not approaching the square closer than 100 meters” issued against them.
