Taksim Solidarity calls for reaction against police violence

Taksim Solidarity called on the whole world to show their reaction to stop the police violence carried out by the direct order of the government, and to support the Solidarity of the people.

Taksim Solidarity said that "Police violence that began at Taksim Gezi Park on the morning of the 14th day continues as of midnight.After the failure of the inept play of provocation staged in the morning by the police, the gas-bomb attack that the police continues as of now has led to hundreds of injuries -including many head traumas. All the animals and birds around Taksim Square are dying because of intense gas".

The Solidarity pointed out that the people and children in Taksim Square and Gezi Park continue their resistance, risking their lives to protect their dignity.

The Solidarity indicated that birds and many other animals in and around the square have also been killed by the intense tear gas used by police against demonstrators.

Police continued attacking Gezi Park till early Wedneday morning, using excessive force and intense tear gas against the people in the park, including children and old people.

Protestors in Ankara also faced severe police intervention last night as tens of thousands who gathered in the central Kennedy Avenue were dispersed with pressure water and tear gas.

Police also removed the tents people had set up in Kuğulu Park.

Around 500 hundred people in the western province of İzmir spend the night in the tents they put up at Gündoğdu Square in solidarity with Taksim resistance.
