An avenue of antifascism, a sea of light in the darkness.
Bella Ciao fills the anti-coup protest at the dictatorship-usurped Şişli municipality, İstanbul.

"172 people sent to prison in the past six days" and "A total of 1,418 people have been detained during protests" against dictator Erdoğan's latest coup ouster of the presidential election candidate which would probably defeat Erdoğan unless the coup is successful

You know these protests you have been able to see live happening in Turkey?
Yeah, not only are the press doing their jobs by showing those events of obviously very relevant public interest threatened with license-revocation for showing such live coverage, but Turkey's "state TV avoids any coverage of mass street protests" and the government's State-censorship agency's president explained it with that "there is no need for disinformation", while Erdoğan and gang gets to hold their counter-propaganda live on TV.

So now you know... reality is "disinformation" while ruler's propaganda is essential.

A view of the anti-coup demo in İzmir, W Turkey.
That's a lot of people.

[Gæst]

The protesters attempted negotiating with the cops to get to make a press statement, but the police rejected and instead chose to water cannon the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, anti-coup protesters.

[Gæst]

Chemical weapons and water cannons as the pro-coup cops assault the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, anti-coup protesters.

[Gæst]

Harsh repression against the heroic Middle East Technical University, Ankara, anti-coup protesters.

[Gæst]

In İzmir, anti-coup protester tangoed, then the police assaulted with chemical weapons and water cannons. Some demonstrated being fine even in the mist intended to cause pain and suffering.

[Gæst]

That does appear to be some kind of gun-shaped object being wielded against a protester's foot on the ground before the pro-coup cops run off.

[Gæst]

1879 people have been detained in the anti-coup protests in Turkey and of "those taken into custody, 260 were sent to prison, while 468 were placed under judicial control. 662 people are still in custody".
