A major report by Amnesty International on the Gezi protests and Turkish suppression of the basic freedoms of assembly and expression will be issued on October 2. We’ll have details and a link to the report here.
Hundreds of protesters gather in Besiktas to drink tea together in front of the Barbaros Hayrettin Pasa Pier, as a protest against the governments plan of selling the public pier to a hotel. Police attacked on protesters who wanted to march to the pier and 12 people are taken into custody. Protesters made a sit-down strike until their friends be released by police. ©SanerSen/NarPhotos Used by permission
