Calls on the Turkish Government to put an end to its authoritarian style of governing and to hold talks with the protesters’ organisations, in order to avoid an escalation of the violence, which will result in more victims; 8. Calls for the immediate release of the 10 000 political prisoners, many of them left-wing or Kurdish activists, as well as journalists, who are detained in conditions that are contrary to the rule of law; 9. Calls on the Turkish Government to re-examine its social, political, cultural and economic policies, which are the main cause that led to the popular uprising, since the incident in the Gezi Park was merely an excuse that triggered the situation; 10.
