FROM OWS:
I'm from Turkey and now there is a very serious riot going on in my country. Our government is tryin' to destroy a very old park called GEZI PARKI in the central of Istanbul to make a shopping mall. But people resist it. The police uses disproportionate force on us. One person died, many are severely injured. Even the animals which are living on the streets got affected from the pepper gas and the pressurized water. Our TV's don't even mention about it. But there is a serious war going on. The only thing we want is to have trees. We don't want the government to destroy the nature. Please share these photos in your page so that the whole world can know about our cause. We are making a revolution right now. Please support us.

Turkey arrests anti-government protesters
At least 60 people detained as Istanbul protest spreads to Ankara and Izmir, with tear gas sprayed and many injured.
Turkish authorities have arrested dozens of people protesting in the fiercest anti-government demonstrations the country has witnessed in years, with riot police firing tear gas on demonstrators in Istanbul and Ankara.
At least 60 people were detained on Friday as they protested in Istanbul at a rally which began over the demolition of a park, but which turned into a broader protest against what they see as an increasingly authoritarian government.
“The protesters are saying that this is not about trees anymore,” said Al Jazeera’s Rawya Rageh, reporting from Istanbul.
Several thousand people had attended the Istanbul protest, and there is “an assortment of tear gas cannisters everywhere” in the city’s main Taksim Square, she said.
More than 100 people were injured, some left lying on the ground unconscious, while two people were hospitalised with injuries to the head, an AFP photographer witnessed.

FROM ANATHEMA:
FROM BURZUM (OFFICIAL):
Attention! Turkish democracy needs you!
After a series of peaceful demonstrations for preserving a recreational area in Istanbul city center which is planned to demolished for the construction of a shopping mall, Turkish police attacked the protesters violently with tear gas and water cannon, directly targeting their faces and bodies. Dozens of protesters are hospitalized and access to the park is blocked without any legal basis. Turkish media, directly controlled by the government or have business and political ties with it, refuse to cover the incidents. Press agencies also blocked the information flow.
Please share this message for the world to become aware of the police state created by AKP of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which is often considered to be a model for other Middle Eastern countries. Turkish democracy expects your help. Thank you!
