2 students arrested over LGBT poster

ISTANBUL — Two students have been arrested in Turkey on charges of inciting hatred and insulting religious values for a poster depicting Islam’s most sacred site with LGBT flags.

Their arrest late Saturday came after top Turkish officials slammed the poster, displayed at an exhibition in Turkey’s most prestigious Bogazici University.

For weeks, students and faculty have been protesting the Turkish president’s appointment of a new rector who has links to his ruling party, and clashes have broken out with police.
