My Turkish friends are sending me sings from their protest walks, asking me to share them since the global news don't do them justice. They translated some of them:
1. "No men ever got me as wet as the TOMA (Riot Control Vehicle"
2. "If you water us a bit more, we will bloom. πŸ’‹πŸ’‹"
3. "Mum, I lied, I'm at the protests"

4. "We'll pass both the midterms and the barricades"
5. "How could there be an "authorised protest", girlie!"
6. "The government that interferes with my walk, what's your zodiac sign!?"

7. "Sweetie, how can you spend your life with just one man?"

Of course, this is just the cheerful side of the story. On the other hand, the Turkish police are using uncontrolled force on the people during the protests while claiming they were attacked. I also saw a video in which the GD of Police in Kocaeli was angrily questioning some of the police officers during the riots. He was asking who gave the order to fire at the protestors, and the officers replied, "we moved without an order." I'll tag the source when I find it again.
Edit: I'd like to update the information concerning the video I mentioned above. It took place in Kocaeli and not Istanbul. Here's the link for the tweet.
Thank you @dr-stxrk for providing me with the link and correcting me! I used the auto-translate, but please translate it yourself and post it. I also heard that students who were arrested during the protests were being sexually and physically abused. If you can also share information about that, we all would be grateful! Stay strong ✊🏻πŸͺ–
