Izmir,Turkey Something so important has been happening in Turkey since May 29 that even we here are bewildered and amazed by this unexpected uprising. It is something, very hopeful, very new and very fresh. For a park and for a few trees, Turkish youth rose up and brought new hope and new light to Turkey’s society. To save a few trees and a park, young people were holding a vigil. Then very early in the morning of May 30, police came to Gezi Park, attacked the young people, burned their tents, fired pepper gas directly into their faces and dragged them to the ground. The police’s brutal act stirred all of society. People started to gather at Gezi Park, by Taksim Square. Police attacked them again. Since then, in almost every city, people have been in the streets day and night. The police attacked people with pepper gas, water cannon and overall disproportional force.
