Hundreds of protesters have gathered in Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and plan to march 3 miles to the Turkish consulate.
The peaceful international solidarity event is being held with the goal to direct public attention to Istanbul Gezi Parki protests and consequent police brutality of AKP/Erdogan government! Occupy Wall Street announced.
Demonstrators, many dressed in red, could be seen waving signs proclaiming 'Istanbul is not alone' while others waved the Turkish national flag.
Saturday marks what activists have dubbed as a homecoming celebration to occupy the space where the movement first began in September 2011, as well as to take a militant stand against the NYPD to assert our right to [nonviolently] exist in public spaces.
