Gezi Park - We got It Wrong!
« on: October 22, 2013, 11:55:34 AM »
Well, at least according to the "little man".  Despite the blatant acts of brutality, witnessed by many both first hand and on popular social media, the Polis actions were heroic...

Prime Minister Erdoğan blesses Turkish police for ‘heroic’ action during Gezi unrest

Funnily enough, Amnesty International didn't agree:

Turkey accused of gross human rights violations in Gezi Park protests

As a counter to some of the warm cuddly videos posted recently, here's the reality of life in Turkey under the current regime:

Shameful. Drinking alcohol is unacceptable but ordering that onto fellow human beings is not. If that is the mindset religion gives a man then I'm delighted not to be at all religious.

Please take the time to watch the video above.

It looks a world away from the Gezi park / Taksim square we walked around 4 weeks ago, hard to believe it's the same place!

And it's STILL happening according to Turkish newspaper sites.
So much injustice going unanswered on a daily basis.     >:(

Sounds familiar somehow, cant think why -- oh now I remember -- "that low Jew who set fire to the Reichstag and our brave boys of the SS rounding up the perpetrators and bringing them to Justice"

If they stop him and the APK now, it will be too late!

Amy new government if there ever is one should repeal every restrictive law they have passed in one single act
and get back to secularism immediately!
