Twitter has limited access to a tweet by Turkey’s interior minister who referred to student protesters as “LGBT perverts”.

For weeks, students and staff at Istanbul’s prestigious Bogazici University have been protesting against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s appointment of Melih Bulu, a figure who has links to his ruling party, as the university’s rector.
