On May 28, 2013 a group of activists gathered at the Gezi Park (a central park) in Taksim, Istanbul, Turkey, to peacefully demonstrate the municipal plan to demolish the park and build the 94th shopping mall in the city. Turkish police attacked the protestors violently with tear gas and water cannon, directly targeting their faces and bodies. Dozens of protestors are hospitalized and access to the park was blocked without any legal basis. The disproportionate police response to the peaceful demonstrators triggered nationwide protests.
