15:48 19/06/2013 ” SOCIETY
Nearly 5,000 protesters’ all-night action ended with a police
intervention with gas bombs and water cannons in the Turkish province
of Eskisehir, leaving three protesters, a journalist and a police
officer injured, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Slogans like “everywhere Taksim, everywhere resistance” and “government
resign” were chanted by the crowd in front of a mall called Espark
in the city’s Eskibaglar neighborhood.
The police’s heavy crackdown managed to disperse the group; however
a group of 500 people stayed in the mall and blocked the way in front
of it.
Eskisehir has been one of the most remarkable provinces in Turkey,
attending Gezi Park protests across the country from the very beginning
following the Occupy Taksim movement.
