œthe police

A transgender sex worker has sued the Interior Ministry, after being fined by police officers on the grounds that she “caused disturbance."

The plaintiff, identified as T.T., was fined twice on April 24 and 25 after locals from the neighborhood in Ankara where she resides filed a complaint by phone to the police.

The prosecutor conducting an investigation into the killing of Uğur Kurt at a cemevi during a police crackdown in Istanbul’s Okmeydanı neighborhood last month has argued that the officer who fired the gun acted “in self-defense.”

I have taken a look at the pro-government media. They are extremely happy with the balance sheet of “the first anniversary of Gezi.” The state has demonstrated its power. The incidents that erupted in a few places were suppressed.

How many people did it take for “the police of the powerful” to suppress these incidents? They are boasting about it, big time.
