This is not about a park it's about not being heard This would not have happened had it just been the park. Before the park, there was the Ottoman pastry shop. And before that an old cinema. And before that.. Despite local pro- tests, the government continues to destroy keynote buildings and public space in favor of malls or mosques. Protests are to no avail. In a true democracy, citizens can question and amend government initiatives it's about the abuse of state power This wouldn't have happened had the Turkish government not used excessive teargas, guns, tanks, helicopters and physical violence to crush the peaceful Gezi park protestors. A true democracy allows for protest and does not use excessive violence against its citizens it's about media being censored This would not have happened had the big Turkish media channels covered the riots from the start. Unfortunately there are strong ties between media outlets and the government. This is why Turkish protestors use social media to seek the attention of foreign media. In a true democracy, media is independent and reports in a balanced way on events happening. it's about minorities not being protected This would not have happened had the Turkish government done a good job in protecting the different-minded. Whether it is the lazy reaction of the Turkish government to the attacks on Alevi citizens in Reyhanli, or the way the government tries to restrict the usage of alcohol, or the way companies with opposite political color have a hard time keeping business Turkish government not only doesn't protect its minorities, it tries to destroy them. A true democracy cherishes its differences and minorities This is about democracy.

Attention! Democracy is under attack in Turkey. After a series of peaceful demonstrations for preserving a recreational area in Istanbul city center which is planned for demolition for the construction of a shopping mall, Turkish police attacked the protesters violently with tear gas and water cannon, directly targeting their faces and bodies. Dozens of protesters are hospitalized and access to the park is blocked without any legal basis. Turkish media, directly controlled by the government or have business and political ties with it, refuse to cover the incidents. Press agencies also blocked the information flow. Please share this message for the world to become aware of the police state created by the current government [AKP) of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Turkish democracy needs your support. Thank you! #OccupyGezi
