Please share - everywhere.


Please share - everywhere.

Police in the western city of Turkey (Izmir) have raided the houses of dozens of students, and taken them into custody for sharing this photo via Twitter! The picture is taken from a video that shows a policeman randomly and violently pulling the hair of passerby girl who has done absolutely nothing wrong. 

Apparently, the students were also accused of inciting uprising because they were warning each other  - via Twitter -of police presence in areas of protests. This is happening in a country with democratically elected prime minister (who two days ago declared social media, especially twitter as menace to society).

  1. They can fix it like China did, and shut down the offending sites.
