“Turkish police fired tear gas and plastic bullets at thousands of people who gathered in Istanbul Tuesday to protest the death of a 22-year-old demonstrator in southern Turkey. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people rallied on the outskirts of Taksim Square, scene of unprecedented mass anti-government protests in June, and shouted slogans including ‘Taksim will be the graveyard of fascism’, an AFP journalist witnessed.  Police prevented the protesters from entering the square, before pushing them back using tear gas and plastic bullets.  Ahmet Atakan died in hospital Monday night after being hit in the head by a tear gas canister during clashes between police and around 150 protesters.”
