Our good friend and great photographer Tomy was in Istanbul during the riots. Here is his story. It started at Geza Park, young people demonstrate against new shopping mall , but this isn’t about trees at all. It is about the secular bloc in Turkey making a final anarchic stand against what they hate most in this world – their nation coming closer to Islam once more. Demonstration became violent with police brutality as a catalyst resulted with more than 1,700 people were reportedly detained and hundreds were injured. At least two people were killed.
The story continues.
