lawyers arrested in Istanbul
Istanbul.
More than 50 lawyers have been arrested and faced Chaklayan court in
Istanbul, because of their participation in the protests at Taksim
Square, which have been continuing for 12 days in the country,
Hurriyet newspaper informed.
Police
officers interfere in the protest in the court building in support of
the arrested layers. Around 100 lawyers are now waiting at the police
station and insist on the release of their colleagues. This is the
third protest of the kind that lawyers organize in support of
protesters on Taksim Square.
Video
shot at Gezi Park during the police intervention a few hours ago. The
attacks mostly concentrated on the adjacent Taksim Square. While the
protesters or their tents were not removed from the park, it was
still heavily gassed.
Governor
Mutlu had personally assured the public from his Twitter account this
morning, saying: "Gezi Park and Taksim will absolutely not be
touched, you will definitely not be touched. Your safety will be
guaranteed by your police brothers this morning and later on."
