People Are Getting Beaten Up By The Police Only Because They're Protesting In Turkey. Literal 17 Year

people are getting beaten up by the police only because they're protesting in turkey. literal 17 year olds are getting shot by plastic bullets, getting pepper sprayed and beaten up AND arrested. all because they're protesting. the police posted stories on instagram, saying "good night" to people they beat up. they're attacking people who don't even have any banners or are staying silent and just walking. they're literally watering people with at least four to five trucks each protest-place. they're getting hit, kicked and punched, a woman got beaten up with a bat with nails attached to it.

these protests are happening because the president of turkey detained the mayor of istanbul (and his biggest rival) imamoglu. imamoglu's university diploma was unlawfully revoked. you have to have a diploma to become president in turkey, so this was clearly done to stop him from running for president. we're just trying to protect ourselves, from getting our diploma getting revoked too, from people being treated unfairly and so much more. we're just protesting. we don't want your money, we want you to hear us.

please reblog and share with everyone you can on every platform. there are many people explaining everything in more detail on twitter, tiktok and/or instagram and maybe even youtube.
