Dictator Erdogan orders raids on student dorms in "counter-terrorism" move

I wonder how many young people will be killed, maimed, never heard from again and mentally affected for the rest of their lives because of this new brutality and the new trumped up charges leveled against them.   YouTube, Twitter and other treacherous social media outlets are once again helping Erdogan by throwing a blanket over tweets and vids on the raids.   I refuse to believe that some students witnessing the raids  did not have a single vid to upload nor tweets on the ongoing raids.

From HurriyetDailyNews:
Police forces launched raids at over 100 locations   in Istanbul in accordance with the ongoing operations on Gezi supporters, including student dormitories, detaining at least 30 people. 

Istanbul counter-terrorism squads took the streets from early hours of July 16, raiding locations ranging from foundation buildings to students dorms under accusations of violent behavior against shopkeepers and police officers during protests. 

Turkish Youth Union (TGB) Istanbul provincial head Olgu Özdemir and some members of TGB were among the detainees, most of whom are university students. Those detained were taken to the counter-terrorism security branch at Vatan. 

Forces conducted searches in all apartments in set destinations, since no number was specified in the search warrants, allowing whole building to fall within the warrants, according to lawyer Mehmet Ümit Erdem, who told daily Hurriyet yet several irregularities were present at the time of the searches.........
