Protests continue all night long in Turkey’s Eskisehir
Nearly 5,000 protesters’ all-night action ended with a police intervention with gas bombs and water cannons in the Turkish province of Eskisehir, leaving three protesters, a journalist and a police officer injured, Hürriyet Daily News reported.
Slogans like “everywhere Taksim, everywhere resistance” and “government resign” were chanted by the crowd in front of a mall called Espark in the city’s Eskibaglar neighborhood.
The police’s heavy crackdown managed to disperse the group; however a group of 500 people stayed in the mall and blocked the way in front of it.
Eskisehir has been one of the most remarkable provinces in Turkey, attending Gezi Park protests across the country from the very beginning following the Occupy Taksim movement.
