The Akademie der Künste Protests the Random Arrests and Detentions of Intellectuals in Turkey

The Akademie der Künste protests the unacceptable course of action of the Turkish government against the press and freedom of speech, without which there can be no genuine democracy.
We call upon the Turkish government to end the random arrests and detentions of intellectuals.
