Gezi Park Commission

The Gezi Park Commission was a government committee established in Turkey to investigate the 2013 protests centered around Gezi Park in Istanbul. These protests initially opposed plans to redevelop the park but grew into larger demonstrations against government policies and authoritarianism. The commission aimed to examine the causes, events, and responses related to the protests. Its role was to assess the legality of government actions, gather evidence, and recommend measures. The commission's work was part of the broader political and social context of the protests, highlighting the tensions between civil rights and state authority.
