Turkey: 'Campus Witches’ beat up a male student over sexual assault allegations

Story here. Excerpt:

'The “Campus Witches,” a feminist group at the Ankara University Faculty of Languages, History and Geography, has suddenly garnered newfound popularity after video footage showing female students from the group physically assaulting a male student and accusing him of sexual abuse went viral.

As the video posted on the Campus Witches’ Facebook page on March 29 shows, security officers came to rescue the male student after members of the group began to physically assault him.

Another student addressed the crowd watching the scene, elaborating on the reason for the reaction to the male student, identified as E.Ç.

The group accused him of writing insulting messages addressed to his ex-girlfriend on his Twitter account and sexually assaulting her. The group also hung printouts of the messages.

“What did I do? Explain it to me,” the male student said. “We still have the messages you’ve sent on the phone,” the group replied.

“We waited for him to come to the campus. Since he ignored the verbal warnings, we beat him up,” Çelik said, while emphasizing they used their right of self-defense against the male student.

A similar incident happened last year in November at Akdeniz University, where a group of feminist students broke into a class in order to find an alleged sexual abuser. The male student, identified as S.D., was found in the cafeteria and exposed by the feminists.

S.D. later tried to commit suicide and was taken to the hospital.'
