Solidarity with Gezi Park

Protests are spreading across Turkey following the violent police assault on the Gezi park occupation on Taksim Square in Istanbul city centre. At least 100 people have been injured as gas and water cannon have been deployed against people protesting against the demolition of the park to build a shopping centre.

Earlier, occupiers had put up tents and had the usual occupy mix of meetings, discussions, music and hanging out.
