ALERT: Taksim Square under riot police attack (the 12th as well) [View all]
Last edited Wed Jun 12, 2013, 01:10 PM - Edit history (3)
Edit: Plenty of police present, some use of tear gas, police are removing banners from the building, protesters are sitting in/down. No riot police attack.
Edit: Enormous round of tear gas into square as Reuters livestream goes offline. Police have attacked protesters, now control Taksim Square. Word of protesters wearing police gasmasks and vests throwing molotov cocktails (not stopped by hundreds of police nearby), called by many online as provocateurs used by the PM to gain sympathy and to demonize the protesters. Livestreamers having difficulty staying on the air.
