| Apr 23, 2016 at 12:56 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @EmilJeřábek Thanks. News reports say that the others have been released as well. It seems that they are still going to be prosecuted, albeit on lesser charges. | |

Added update reporting on release of Kivanc Ersoy from prison.
|
| Apr 22, 2016 at 21:27 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | According to a message passed on by Giovanni Falcone (from the change.org petition), Kıvanç Ersoy was released. No mention of the other two. | |

| Apr 2, 2016 at 4:25 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | I'm calling for an end to this discussion, which is increasingly opinion-based. People have some bare facts that they can investigate and act on to their hearts' content, but MO (or MO meta) is really not a place for a political discussion. | |

| Mar 27, 2016 at 20:04 | comment | added | Nick Gill | Thanks for posting this. I've added my name to the two petitions, and here's hoping there is a swift and happy end to this. | |

| Mar 21, 2016 at 10:47 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @quid On reflection I agree with you. I've deleted the answer and edited the information into the main post. | |

| Mar 21, 2016 at 10:40 | comment | added | user9072 | By contrast I find it strange to "conclud[e] this posting" by pointing to petitions. The actual situation is in no way resolved by this, and to pretend otherwise is not appropriate in my opinion. The information on petitions could just as well be edited into the main post, or at least the answer should not be accepted. | |

| Mar 21, 2016 at 6:19 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | @მამუკა ჯიბლაძე I second your suggestion about creating an answer for the purposes of concluding this posting. | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 4:34 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | That this is not quite the place to provide this information is implied also by the fact that upvoting looks weird in this case. Also, links to all existing petitions be better placed in an answer. @Dilaton, could you please do it? This way they would be better noticeable I think, | |
| Mar 20, 2016 at 10:28 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @post.as.a.guest If not read incorrectly, then certainly interpreted incorrectly. Does the fact that a user of MathOverflow posts, on a site devoted to the workings of MathOverflow, about the plight of another user of MathOverflow really make you think that they don't care about the similar plights of other people? I'd take the opposite inference. If there were an isomorphic thread on PsychologyOverflow meta about the psychologist, by PO users I didn't otherwise know, then I think that would, if anything, increase my estimate of how likely they were to care about the mathematician. | |
| Mar 20, 2016 at 1:36 | comment | added | post.as.a.guest | It's a bit bizarre, 3 academics (and a British national) were arrested, but MathOverflow only seems to care about the mathematician? Excuse me if I read the comments incorrectly. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 15:18 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @Todd My slight concern was that a petition wholly or predominantly by people who actually know him might be harder to dismiss as "just meddling foreigners who don't understand the situation or the dangerous people we're trying to save the country from". | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 12:34 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | Jeremy, the change.org petition does welcome such comments, but my own feeling is that every little bit helps and it's fine just to sign anyway. I have done so (with a comment, even though I can't say I know Dr. Ersoy) and also sent an email to the address provided at the link you gave. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 11:17 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @StefanKohl The change.org petition seems intended to gather support and comments from people who know him personally. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 11:14 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @StefanKohl and Jeremy, thank you. I am a tireless signer of petitions and change.org is certainly known to me. I have also written a Turkish academic involved in Academics for Peace who lives in the US to see whether she has some more advice. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 11:05 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @Dilaton I'm afraid I know no more than you. But it looks to me as though they're collecting names supporting their own statement rather than individual statements from signatories. At the bottom of the page I linked to there's a link "Duyuruyu indir" (last updated yesterday) with the petition in Turkish followed by a list containing just names and affiliations of signatories. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 10:59 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | @Dilaton: There is also a petition for Kıvanç Ersoy on change.org where it is more obvious how to sign (and a considerable number of colleagues have already done so). | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 10:46 | comment | added | Dilaton | @JeremyRickard what should be the format and content of this email for it to be a valid signature? Should it just contain a freely formulated supportive sentence and the professional address and location? | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 10:05 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @Todd I have no personal connection to the case: I read about it, thought I recognized the name and found his MO user page when I Googled. But there is a petition from the Turkish Mathematical Society (in Turkish and English) on their website tmd.org.tr/kivanc-ersoy-tutuklandi, with an email address to send signatures. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 1:01 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | Jeremy, is there a movement under way to help? | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 23:03 | comment | added | user9072 | @Lucia there is a problem with this though, users that get their questions closed while similar ones stay open tend not to be happy with such a model of explanation. (That said, I see no particular reason to be overly strict regarding usage of meta, especially as long as the volume is as low as it is.) | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 22:41 | comment | added | Lucia | I think we should not worry so much about what exactly is allowed or not allowed, if many mathematicians find the discussion/question interesting and on topic. That is, I'd go for a "descriptivist" rather than a "prescriptivist" theory of MO, or meta questions. | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 21:07 | comment | added | tox123 | @JoelReyesNoche "MathOverflow users to communicate with each other about MathOverflow" are the users of MathOverflow not pertinent to MathOverflow? | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 20:44 | comment | added | user9072 | @JoelReyesNoche I feel posting something on "tea" does not make all that much sense these days. If anything I'd recommend to mention it in a chat room (though the general MO chat is not really active either). | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 13:19 | comment | added | JRN | Perhaps this post would be more appropriate at tea.mathoverflow.net ? | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 13:18 | comment | added | JRN | According to the help center, "Meta is for... ...MathOverflow users to communicate with each other about MathOverflow (asking questions about how the websites work, or about policies and community decisions) ...MathOverflow users to communicate with Stack Overflow the company (posting bugs, suggesting improvements, or proposing new features), and ...Stack Overflow the company to communicate with the community (soliciting feedback on new ideas or features, or discussing policies that affect the whole network)" | |

| Mar 18, 2016 at 11:41 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | @quid Purely informational. | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 11:40 | comment | added | user9072 | What is the point of this posting? (To be clear, this is meant as an honest question. It is just not clear to me if you intend this purely informational, want to start an exchange on the subject, want further information on the subject, want some action to be taken, etc) | |
