Old thread Subject:

"At 2AM last night, Gezi Gardens (San Fransisco solidarity occupation) was raided by 100+ police."

Some farmland occupied since the 1st in solidarity with the Turkist protest movement was raided by a massive police force very late last night.

#WereFucked @worthoftheworld
100+ SFPD in riot cops giving ppl option to leave #GeziGardens, single file w cop escort ( @carriem213 live at http://ustre.am/YlNj )

Riot police have moved the livestreamer and others two blocks away from the gardens and are blocking people from returning so no one can record the arrests of those who are doing tree-sitting.

I know Turkish cops are more violent, but who's more insistent on preventing freedom of assembly in the first place?
