"On July 11, men with knives and sticks attacked a group of people who gathered in Istanbul’s Fatih District to commemorate a 19-year-old boy who died of injuries he sustained during anti-government demonstrations. Ali Ismail Korkmaz was the latest victim of police crackdown on anti-government protesters. He died at a hospital on July 10 after he was badly beaten by unidentified plainclothesmen during protests on June 2. Turkish lawmaker Oguz Kaan Salici told Press TV that the men are civilians who are protected by the Turkish police. “In the beginning of the Taksim protest we saw that 10 or 20 guys with sticks in their hands and sometimes small knives. They were attacking the protesters or trying to make them afraid. Police is unfortunately with them,” he added."
