International Workers' Day
International Workers' Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day) is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labour movement. May Day commonly sees organized street demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of working people and their labour unions throughout Europe and most of the rest of the world in neither the United States nor Canada. Other groups such as communists and anarchists are also given to widespread street marches on this day as well.
Well, It is mainly a celebration day and national holiday in Turkey. They say Turkey has democracy, but who believes it(!). In Istanbul government tries to use their all police force for blocking people meet eachother in squares. This day had to be a celebration day of workers but it is a tyranny now. I am posting some photos down there from morning in Turkey today. The police use pepper gasses, police sticks and pressured water for spreading people from squares. And the tourists are shocked with these happenings today. It is a black day for Turkey and this will be remebered. To the knowledge of the world. Long live humanity...
-Pepper gasses created a great fog.
-Police blocks seaway for not allowing people to pass euro side of Istanbul, really funny and sad for humanity
-Usage of pressured water onto people
-Blocking usage of bridges so people cannot meet eachother in Istanbul
-Here is Istiklal Street, there are only polices. How sad
I dont know if u can see photos and videos, I will probably add more links in day time. This had to be a celebration, not a cruelty. Hope people will ot forget this in the future. Dont believe capital media. They lies to people. They say ''those are communists'', those are islamists'', ''those are some terrorist groups'' , etc.. We see that kind of definitions on that kind of happenings many times. But no, here is only workers. They were there for celebration their Worker's Day, and police beat them. Dont think Turkey has a democracy. What a lie!
