Maybe this is not the correct place for this, however I want to tell this to all the world, I am attending the riots in Istanbul against anti democratic practices of the current government especially prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Dear JCI Friends, unarmed Turkish citizens are under constant attack since 36 hours, in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Adana, Antalya and other cities. President Tayyip Erdoğan is using his police force to suppress and maim peaceful demonstrators, using panzers, many types of poisonous gas canisters, plastic bullets. Hundreds are wounded, at least a few of them dead and casualities are increasing! I ask for your support to inform the world about the brutality of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his 200.000 strong police force!! best, hby from Istanbul / Turkey On Sun, Jun 2, 2013 at 6:59 PM, <tccc-requ...@lists.cs.columbia.edu> wrote: > Send Tccc mailing list submissions to > tccc@lists.cs.columbia.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tccc-requ...@lists.cs.columbia.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tccc-ow...@lists.cs.columbia.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Tccc digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
