Scontri a Istanbul, le foto della protesta

Notte di scontri in piazza Taksim a Istanbul fra la polizia e i dimostranti anti-Erdogan. Ieri mattina i poliziotti in forze avevano sgombrato la piazza, ma ieri sera i manifestanti sono tornati e sono ripartiti i disordini. Erdogan dice che contro i contestatori ”non ci sara’ tolleranza” e che il parco Gezi sara’ cancellato: ”Gli alberi li ripianteremo altrove”. Arrestati anche 73 avvocati che difendevano i manifestanti. Per la Casa Bianca ”occorre rispettare il diritto di espressione”.

A man says his hands were burned by the gas police used against protesters. "It wasn't pepper gas," he insisted. Fights broke out when police came to Taksim Square on June 11, 2013, the 11th day of anti-government protests at Gezi Park.
