“There was another martyr today, totaling 6 so far. We do not understand why this is happening? To what end? All we are asking for is freedom.”

– Soundbite (Qasim Jamous – Protester): 

“We are currently committing civil disobedience for limited number of hours in order to deliver a message to concerned authorities. We demand institutions to fulfill their duties and meet our demands, the main one being provision of security forces to stop lawlessness.

“We demand the dismissal of security institutions along with security factions. We hold Turkey fully responsible for deliberately leaving the country without security or law enforcement.”
