Allegations of excessive use of force during peaceful protests. According to the
information received, on 28 May 2013, a few hundred protesters gathered at Gezi Park
in Taksim, Istanbul, to peacefully demonstrate against the municipal urban redevelopment plan for the area. It is reported that police violently dispersed protesters
through widespread and indiscriminate use of tear gas. Following the violent reaction
of the police in Istanbul, since 31 May 2013, hundreds of thousands of people have
started gathering across the country in support of the protesters. These demonstrations
have met with excessive use of force by law enforcement officials, resulting in
thousands of people being injured and arrested. In the context of these protests at least
four persons reportedly died, including Mr Mehmet Ayvalitas, Mr Irfan Tuna, Mr
Abdullah Cömert and Mr Mustafa Sari. On 11 June 2013, members of Turkey’s
Special Forces arrested at least 50 lawyers who had gathered in front of the Çaglayan
Justice Palace in Istanbul to make a statement about the situation in Gezi Park.
