Turkey's 'Massive' Rights Crimes At Gezi Protests Cited by Amnesty
In a detailed study on Turkey's recent urban unrest, the international human rights body Amnesty International reports widespread abuse by authorities.
In the most detailed study yet on the Gezi Park youth protests in Istanbul in early summer, Amnesty International on Wednesday accused the Turkish government of "human rights violations on a massive scale."
In a report published Oct. 2, the organization detailed what it called "the worst excesses of police violence" during the protests, the failure to bring these abuses to justice and the subsequent prosecution and harassment of those who took part in the demonstrations.
