     Hacettepe University [Ankara] students started a sit-in protest: "We don't want police on campus!"

     During the sit-in protest that started after TOMA [water cannon trucks] and riot police vehicles were brought to Beytepe Campus, students ask:

     "Where were the police when they were dying in the earthquake, where was the TOMA when the hotel was burning?"

     It's this https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/109677366052782731 protest in Stockholm that they've decided is "membership in a terrorist organization" and "insulting the president" (...a president who is an insult to humanity).

     probably to prevent the horrible crime of speaking regime-dissenting opinion to the recorder.

     The people of Şişli district of İstanbul, the Mayor of which was also usurped during Erdoğan's current coup, keep protesting in spite of heavy rain this evening.
     Protests remain completely banned by the decree-appointed Governor.
     Also this time you can hear the neighborhood express its support for the protest by banging pots and pans at home.
