Alexandre Borovik, a Professor of Mathematics at Manchester University whose "Mathematics Under the Microscope" I have referred to previously, reports on the arrest of a blackboard in Turkey in the course of the closure by the authorities of a Mathematical Summer School, held in Sirince, Turkey, for a variety of alleged violations, including, as Borovik's Turkish colleagues told him, for "education without permission".

Borovik has set up a petition against the closure.
