Elevator Incidents Continue in Turkish State-Run Dorms

Elevator accidents continue to persist in Turkish state-run dormitories. There were at least two recent elevator accidents as issues continue, despite a fatal incident in October, Duvar English reports. In the western İzmir province’s Buca district, an elevator fell three floors with students inside in a Student Loans and Dormitories Institution (KYK). The Movement of the Unsheltered (“Barınamıyoruz”) said the students were trapped inside the elevator for 45 min, and dormitory management did not allow the fire department to be called. In another incident in the southeastern Şanlıurfa province, two students were again trapped inside an elevator. After a student died in October, students staying in the dormitory protested the negligence of the management, saying they warned them several times regarding the elevator, but it was not fixed. The incident caused public outrage and nationwide protests, especially among university students, amid poor living conditions in the dormitories.
