On 4 October, the Minister of Justice, Cemil Cicek, and the former Minister of Justice, Hikmet Sami Turk, were welcomed by the students' protest in their visit to Ankara University for a symposium.
The former Minister of Justice, Hikmet Sami Turk was the minister of justice and one of the main responsible of the attack, which was carried out on 19 December 2000 in 20 prisons, in order to transfer political prisoners into newly built F-Type isolation prisons. 28 political prisoners were killed during that operation.
On their entrance to the university, the ministers were welcomed by the students' slogans: "We don't want killers in our university", "We will ask the account of the massacres" and "We will defeat the repression of isolation". But the students, who wanted to march, were blocked by the police and were not allowed to enter into the faculty.
Two members of SGD (Socialist Youth Association) who wanted to enter the symposium were taken into police custody. The members of SGD shouted slogans "Killer minister get out of the university" and "Killer police get out of the university", during their detention by the police. Other students, who heard about the detention of the two SGD members, clashed with the police.
Levent Cakir, one of the SGD members who were detained, is imprisoned and sent to Sincan L Type Prison. When leaving the court building, Cakir shouted slogans: "You are not strong enough to defeat us" and "We will win".
