Open letter from a Turkish Anarchist

Saturday, June 01 2013 --- I feel obliged to let you know about the ongoing clash in 
Turkey, between the state and the protestors who were peacefully protesting until the 
police attacked them. The situation is getting worse and the Turkish media is not covering 
ANY incidents related to the events. Even we can retrieve information via foreign media. 
Currently, there are major protests all around the country. --- These are the words of a 
fellow protestor: ---- "Dear friends all around the world,something brave and significant 
is happening in Istanbul, Turkey. ---- A late blooming Occupy wave one might call 
it.Citizens tired of a bullying government with its corrupt management of public spaces 
and reckless abuse of land are coming together to protect a public park in the heart of 
the Istanbul which is under the threat of being demolished so the 94th shopping mall can 
be built in its place.

People are holding in spite of the brutal attacks by the police (today's attack was at 5am 
in the morning one shall point out! including tear gas bombs, burning the tents, 
hospitalizing a person...). It is the 3rd day now, more than 10,000 people have gathered 
in the park!Meanwhile, public spaces are being sold to hotels, precious ecosystems are 
being wasted for more industry, power plants, 3rd bridge over Bosphorus!

This has become a matter about more than just saving trees. This is an 'I can do whatever 
I damn well want', fascist mentality that not only supresses but attacks its own people.

To make matters worse, media channels are being censored so as not to display the 
news.#direngeziparki is now the 2nd worldwide trending topic on Twitter.

Please help us to share this message and stop Erdogan's ruthless, inhumane acts.

What you can do:- Forward this message to everyone you know- Send your support messages 
through twitter with the #direngeziparki hashtag- Tag @bbc @cnn @reuters and other large 
media channels in these posts- Post this message on facebook- Let your local and national 
media channels know, please help spread the news globally.

We need all the support we can get now."

PLEASE spread the word AND ask people to call the Turkish Embassy in their country now and 
ask why police is gassing demonstrators in Taksim (Istanbul) and whether Istanbul is safe 
anymore. Please protest and condemn the use of force against peaceful demonstrations.

- A Turkish anarchist
