Quote:
2000 turkish police with support of anti-terror units attacked on dec. 7th democratic structures of the civil society such as the federation "TEMEL HAKLAR" ("basic rights") or from critical magazines and newspapers... infrastructure and institutions were destroyed, or confiscated.
whole parts of Istanbul were turned into a battle field when people of the organization and other organized or autonomous persons began to resist the repression.

The people built burning barricades which were very effective. the police used tear gas, gas bombs etc... many hundred residents tried to attack and to occupy a police station in the Istanbul district Gazi.
