The earthquake reminded us, yet we hadn’t forgotten for a single day: How glad we are to have Gezi!

Those trees are still there, thanks to those who defended Gezi.

With our respect to all our imprisoned friends: Justice for Gezi, justice for all!

🧵The clash between #Türkiye’s top courts continues & illustrates the deepening erosion of the rule of law in the country, further confirming that the continued imprisonment of Gezi Park trial defendant and elected MP #CanAtalay is politically motivated.

Take a look, what kind of place is the women's prisons? There is a lot to learn from the article, from prison architecture to the functioning of the health system inside, to hygiene, to the use of tampons and sanitary pads. Cigdem wrote.
