Forty people have been taken into custody following yet another police crackdown on Gezi Park protesters. 

Social media had echoed and spread news of a gathering to take place on Saturday in Taksim. Police closed Gezi Park in order to prevent people from reaching it and then started to attack the crowd which was gathering. 

Clashes and gas bombs attacks continued through the night. A first balance of the night of police repression sets the number of detained people to 40.
