Gezi - Not a dark chapter
Gezi - No Dark Chapter (07 June 2019)
Impressions from the solidarity demonstration
The solidarity demonstration was prompted by the Turkish government's indictment of 16 civil society activists, for whom life imprisonment is now being demanded due to the Gezi protests in 2013.
Our respect goes to all those activists* who stand up for human rights despite the existing injustice regime.

- Dr. Sezgin Tanrikulu, Member of Parliament of the Turkish CHP
