Affrontements à Istanbul, Ankara, Hatay, Antioche – 12/13 juillet 2013 » Protesters shout slogans as they block the main Istiklal street in central Istanbul

Protesters shout slogans as they block the main Istiklal street in central Istanbul late July 8, 2013. Turkish police fired teargas and water cannon on Monday at protesters who tried to defy a closure order and enter an Istanbul park at the centre of protests against Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s government. Gezi Park was only open for a few hours after Istanbul’s governor allowed people back in, following often violent protests last month against plans to redevelop the area, when riot police ordered it shut ahead of a planned rally.
