Today 19th day resist of Gezi Park. People trying to protect the park against the police and state
Herşey 28 Mayıs günü başladı. Taksim meydanındaki Gezi parkını yıkıp yerine Topçu Kışlası (avm,İş merkezi) yapılmak istenmesi ve kepçelerin ağaçları yıkmaya başlamasına karşı çıkan bir grup, parkta toplanıp kamp kurarak bunu protesto etmeye başladı. Silahsız ve korunmasızdılar. Fakat polis bu zararsız topluluğa biber gazı ve tomalarla saldırmaya başladı,çadırlarını yaktı. İşte olaylar bundan sonra patladı.
Everything started 28of May.The goverment wanted to destroy Gezi Park and built a shopping mall instead of it. However, there was a group who protest it, started to camp there.They were without arm and protect. But the police began to attact to this harmless group with tear gas and water.They lit their tents and then everyting bursted after this.
They attacked mercilessly. Tear gas fell non-stop like rain. Police continued to attack, the people multiplied and support increased. Gezi was getting more and more crowded. Naturally, the resist has spread around the Taksim.
31 Mayıs sabahı kesinlikle özel ve unutulmaz oldu. Binlerce insan köprüleri aşarak Taksim'e doğru yürüyüşe geçti.
On the morning of May 31 was certainly special and memorable. Thousands of people marched to Taksim bridges beyond.
At night, events becoming more severe. Attacks were tough and started detention and beating. We can not generalize all but the police didn't act like a human.
One of the most memorable moment was the famous football team fans "Çarşı"(which are fan of Beşiktaş) chased the police and protect people by stealing work machine.
Brotherhood, solidarity,working together since the first day was dominated environment in Taksim. Resist continues to increase exponentially. Resisters did not leave the square. They started live there to set up camp. And they have infirmary, library and mini tent block. Also everything was free and every morning the prostestors were cleaning Taksim square.
By the way prime minister and other government employees continued their hard statements every day. Prime minister called us "chapulcu" They didnt step back and even didn't apologize.
On the other hand media supported prime minister. Didn't do any news about Taksim instead of it they chose to publish penguin documentary for hours.
Daha sonra avukatlar yaka paça tutuklanmaya başladı. Direnişte zarar görenleri savundukları,haklarını arayıp dava açmak istedikleri, adliyede eylem yaptıkları için!
The lawyers started to arrest after days. Defend those who harm the resist, they want their rights to sue and they protest that at courthouse!
Vali'nin annelere seslenerek "çocuklarınızı meydandan alın" çağrısına uyan anneler çocuklarını korumak için meydana geldiler. Çocuklarının yaptığı gibi etten zincir oluşturdular polisle park arasında. Cesur kadınlarımız yine başroldeydi her zaman olduğu gibi. Yaş,sınır tanımaksızın...
As for the last days, police attacks is decreased a bit more in İstanbul but still continue in the other cities in Ankara,Mersin,Adana,İzmir. There are already 4 dead and lots of injured people.
The governer said "dear mothers, please come and take your children home" and all mothers came indeed to the park but didnt pick up their children.They came to protect them. They stood hand in hand between police and their children. Our brave women were in still in the lead role, as always. Age and without limits ...
Don't forget the piano in the middle of the park for 3 days. In the evening, people gathered around the piano and singing songs in unison of peace.It is a prove of, music is good for the soul and make people get together.
First 1-2 days i worried about what happened in my country but after saw this resist, i proud with my people and my country. It was killing me not to be there but all i can do was looking and commenting from afar.Like all the countries who support this resist, i also support it from Milano. You are not alone GEZİ !
