New wave of peaceful protests in Turkey

Turkey is seeing a new wave of protests after the authorities evicted demonstrators from Gezi Park.

Unrest began in late May as a small sit-in over the planned demolition of the park but spiralled into far wider anti-government protests after a police crackdown.

For now the gatherings are peaceful, taking place every evening in parks across Istanbul and elsewhere.
