The Gezi Park Trial

The Gezi Park Trial pertains to legal proceedings related to protests that began in Istanbul’s Gezi Park in 2013, initially against the government’s plans to develop the park. The protests expanded to broader issues like freedom of expression and government overreach. Several activists, journalists, and protesters faced charges such as inciting violence or terrorism. The trial involves evaluating these accusations and their connection to the protests, balancing law enforcement's response and citizens' rights. It highlights ongoing debates around political activism, justice, and civil liberties in Turkey.
