that's happening more or less all over europe

[Haspen]

Not in Poland, we get tiny coverage on Turkey protests - first real news we got were yesterday :I

I have no idea why we're late, though.

[Ochita]

Anyway, moving back to turkey.

Damn that face wound looks nasty, kinda says something about the police if they're doing things like that. As if they just dont really care at all about the lives of the protestors, although that's already been established with the various deaths..

So yeah, be careful.

As an aside, it is somewhat good to see solidarity (Am I even using it right) coming in from places, like Greece. I mean it should create pressure on the Turkish government, right?

Also over here in the east of england, we got coverage of it yesterday, from the bbc news channel so it not being frontpage on the website is somewhat weird.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

actually, greece is the historical enemy of turkey, so whatever the greeks say will only strengthen the government's position in it's own eyes and the eyes of it's supporters, although it might lighten up the relations between the two countries once this government is deposed

[Ochita]

Oh.

I.. Did not know that. Still, if the government does get disposed, then perhaps relations would be lightened.

I wish you luck, Leatra. Thank you for the information.

What's happening in Greece over this? How is  everyone's new's coverage? It's not even front-page news on the BBC website right now.

Tonight I saw in Leatra's picture a man whose eyeball had been shot out with a rubber bullet or tear gas cannister. The BBC on the other hand spent about an hour today, or perhaps a bit more than that, reporting the anniversary of the Queen's coronation.

[Nadaka]

The only place I see coverage is here and facebook. there is a serious media blackout on this.

[GlyphGryph]

The media only tells people what they want to here, and no one wants to hear about stuff like this! No money in it. No, much more important that we run another cooking show.

I'm the only one talking about this in my entire circle in Facebook - everyone else is just passing it over. No one cares among the many people I know except for me, and despite my images and videos the few who I can get to talk about it say "It's not a big deal".

[Scoops Novel]

Where are you GlyphGryph? Erdogan's on the front page of CNN, and you've at least heard from Britain but I'd like to weigh up the response in Europe.

[GlyphGryph]

US. Not on the front page of CNN here, that's an article about aging and skin.

There are some mentions in the "word" section, this today is actually the first day I've seen it mentioned at all there despite checking multiple times.

[Myroc]

Stay safe out there, Leatra. You are doing a terrific job just by keeping the outside world updated on the situation, and I wish you and your fellow protestors the best of luck.

Light up the night.

When I was listening to some Rage Against the Machine last night I couldn't help but notice just how many Turkish people were commenting with slogans and such.
