Following police attacks, Istanbul’s crisis desk received 450 missing and detention applications. At the moment, 169 individuals are still waiting in Istanbul’s Police Headquarters. The detention tolls are 116 in Ankara and approximately 30 in Eskişehir.

Early this morning, police attacked the tents of Gezi Resistance protestors with water cannons and gas bombs, detaining approximately 30 people in the central province of Eskişehir.

Police attacked Taksim Square and Park tonight. The police evicted Gezi Park and torn protestor tents apart. Several roads leading to Taksim Sqaure were reportedly filled with tear gas. Many injuries were reported.

Taksim Solidarity counted its meeting with PM Erdoğan to Gezi Park protestors. A forum has been launched to determine on the next steps of the process. The group will have a press a statement at 10 am tomorrow.

Health Ministry Audit submitted an official statement to Chamber of Medicines Administration, saying that it launched investigations on doctors of Gezi Park for “treating those who were attending an illegal protest”.

“The first step of the process is over, even though some of my demands have not been realized. We are transitioning to the second step. I have 50 percent hope,” PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan said to his brother Mehmet Öcalan on a visit in Imrali Island.

A delegation from Taksim Solidarity has been received by PM Erdoğan last night in Ankara. The government spokesperson Hüseyin Çelik made a declaration after the meeting, saying that they will wait for court’s final decision on the future of Gezi Park and go on a plebiscite no matter the outcome of the ongoing prosecution. He also pledged that the government will make necessary investigations on police violence and take necessary measures.

The image of Ethem Sarısülük - a Gezi Park protestor whose brain death occurred in Ankara yesterday - has been placed on the stairs of a pedestrian bridge in Turkey’s capital.

Many Gezi Parkers bianet interviewed today said that “Gezi Park is safe until police comes” and did not seem favorable to a referendum on the future of Gezi Park.

A recent poll conducted by KONDA on 4411 participants on Gezi Resistance revealed that Gezi protestors are averagely 28 years old with 79 percent not affiliated with any political organization and 45 percent attending a protest for the first time.

AKP Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Çelik said yesterday that a referendum might be held on Gezi Resistance.

All those recently labeled as “Marginal Groups” are legal. Precisely because they routinely come under attack by the state and are forcibly choked in gas despite being legal formations, they know state violence well and know even better how to resist it.
