Another Erdoğan-coup.

[Gæst]

Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions (DİSK), Confederation of Public Employees' Unions (KESK) and the second largest opposition party in Turkey's electoral politics system which is the anti-racist DEM Party made statements in support of and participation in the protests against dictator Erdoğan's currently ongoing coup to get rid of the most prominent opposition candidate (Mayor of İstanbul, from the largest opposition party CHP).

Currently a banned protest against dictator Erdoğan's ongoing coup is being shot at with water cannons and pepper-balls at Dokuz Eylül University, İzmir, W Turkey:

Here are 6½ minutes of various particularly nice or particularly bad highlights (according to me) from that >1h livestream of the banned anti-coup demo in İzmir:

[Gæst]

"Turkey warns against growing street protests over detained mayor"
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-criticises-opposition-leaders-call-streets-over-mayors-detention-2025-03-21/
I warn against Turkey not protesting, as this may be your last chance or very close to it, if you don't.

[Gæst]

People keep arriving now already for the still banned anti-coup protest at Saraçhane, İstanbul at 20:30 local time.
It's 18:47 local time.

[Gæst]

Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, İstanbul, students: "The State decrees, but the universities are ours!" (a rejection of claimed authority).

[Gæst]

About 1½ hours left until this banned protest is scheduled to start in İstanbul.
They're very eager to protest Erdoğan's currently ongoing coup, it would seem.

Livestream of the Communist Party of Turkey's march which will go join the main İstanbul protest against the currently ongoing coup by Erdoğan:

Very banned, of course.

[Gæst]

This anti-coup protest in İzmir, W Turkey, is scheduled to start soon too, I believe.
I know all protests, press releases and gatherings were banned today and 5 days forward. It didn't work.

[Gæst]

Also İzmir, warning the dictatorship party of Erdoğan (AKP) that at some point they will lose power and the people will hold them accountable.

New livestream, same anti-coup communist march in İstanbul:

Seven (7!) TOMA (water cannon trucks) have been prepared at the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, just in case the students stand up against the dictatorship now again as they so gloriously did for hours enduring intense chemical weapons yesterday.
