Protest in Taksim Gezi Park in Istanbul
A banner reading in Turkish 'For The Right To Live For Freedom Of Speech. I'm @Gezi' is unfurled from the Greenpeace Mediterranean office in Istanbul.
What started as a simple peaceful protest against the destruction of Gezi park, an iconic, and historic, park by Taksim Square, to make way for a shopping mall, has grown into a wider struggle for Turkish democracy. A question of whether the country puts people and natural environment before commerce and profit. Greenpeace condemns the brutal police clampdown on the Gezi Park protest and defends the right to peaceful protest.
