I am reporting exactly what my friend told walking from Gezi Park to AKM (Atatürk Cultural Center) direction.
“A the moment we are in front of AKM. There is a woman in a wheelchair who shields protesters with her own body against even slightest interference of the police. There is another woman next to her, who I think is her mother. I wanted to help this woman who kept throwing herself in front of the police, and I saw that she was Şafak Pavey. There is a parliamentarian in the streets, on the ground, and there is not even a single journalist coming to make news from this.
Are we surprised? No, of course.
