Barricades at Nisantasi, at 4:50AM Sunday
Poiu is in Turkey; he writes: ” Since yesterday evening, everything has worsened. Unfortunately it is not really covered by local media, the consequence of that being that it gets a lot less international attention than it should. People are gassed here non stop, in all central Istanbul areas. Tens of thousands of people are out in the streets.
The only two channels who cover the street events are ULUSAL KANAL CANLI YAYINI and artı bir tv. You should check them out just to get an idea of the scale and the drama.”
Meanwhile, there’s a lot of astounding stuff in the Occupy Gezi Pics Tumblr.
