Abstract

A small group of environmentalists objected to the uprooting of trees in Gezi Park in the heart of Istanbul when the municipality began to implement its plan to raze the park and build in its place the replica of an Ottoman era military barrack with a shopping mall inside. The municipal police burnt down the tents of the camping protesters in Gezi Park and used excessive force against them in the early morning hours of May 31, 2013.
