REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED! 400,000 people crossed the Bosphrous bridge into Istanbul to join the Taksim Gezi protest. Yesterday the police attacked the protesters and park killing 2-3 people and wounding 300 more. A call went out for help and solidarity and it looks like that call has been answered.

Blimey, amazing photo. The authorities in most countries must dread the summer, all the warm weather for rioting in.

the destruction of an old park in Istanbul. On Thursday (wed?) some 100 protesters sang some songs and read poetry in order to protest the construction of a shopping mall in place of a park in the business district of Istanbul. Police went after them with pepper spray and water cannons.
The ensuing protests are against this amount of gov't control, and the prime minister is escalating it by saying basically, bring it on.

My husband's granddaughter lived in Turkey and went to school for a semester. She loved it there.
