SIX DETAINED ON MARCH 8 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
Women in Sıraselviler with slogans: "In spite of everything, rebellion; in spite of everything, freedom"
March 8, International Women's Day, is being celebrated all over the world and throughout Turkey. However, the Istanbul Governor’s Office once again closed Taksim Square to women without providing any justifiable grounds. Women, unable to enter Taksim Square which was surrounded by barricades, gathered in nearby Sıraselviler. As women dispersed at the end of the march, police detained six individuals.
