Thousands flooded to Taksim Gezi Park in Istanbul to pitch a Democratic Solution Tent. Leading the action as a part of civil disobedience actions, Istanbul Democratic City Councils started a sit-in act as police did not allow for the solution tent.
Many intellectuals, political parties, NGOs, particularly human rights and women rights organizations, Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) deputies, members and executives, journalists and mostly Kurdish residents of Istanbul are sitting in the park while the council is negotiating with police authority to erect the tent.
Thousands of activists are currently waving banners, chanting slogans, singing songs and dancing in the Park.
The demands of Kurds and messages from imprisoned BDP candidates for nomination were read from the stand for the action. BDP deputies, Sırrı Sakık and Ufuk Uras, addressed the participants as well.
