From a friend in Turkey... "Just returned home from about an hour - TopicsExpress



          

From a friend in Turkey... "Just returned home from about an hour and a half outside. The police are trying to clear Istiklal and are gassing the people. Still, there are many around Odakule... there is police close to Tunel and on Galatasaray Sq. The people are not leaving, the more gas the police deploy the more angry and insistent they are. We collected to IMMENSE cannisters, they are metal and there is NO INDICATION on what they contain!!!!!! We had to take refuge in buildings. Managed to shoot some pics. Have never seen my immediate neighbourhood or Pera like this...." Twitter feeds and longer comments on FB make this seem horrific. The traditional news media is letting the ball drop and not providing people with all the stuffings (sorry!) about what is going on in Turkey.
