Protesters as terrorists: the Erdoğan's way

Remember the Taksim Gezi Park protests in Turkey? There are some interesting legal developments on this front:

Prosecutors have charged 36 people with being members of a terrorist organization in the indictment over the mass demonstrations that swept the country between May and July in 2013... Prosecutors said the massive demonstration had gone beyond a democratic protest and turned into the “actions and propaganda of terrorist organizations.”
The flexibility of modern justice is nothing if not amazing. An interesting detail, though:
The indictment was prepared by Muammer Akkaş, the same prosecutor who was controversially removed from a second graft investigation last week, the report said.
There must be a lesson in this, I bet...

Next thing you know they'll be sentencing them to insane asylums because the system is perfect and therefore only the insane could oppose it.

Oh, good, another Leftist clown. What is it they call Hahaharetz? The only Arab newspaper written in Hebrew?

Pretty in the face, anyhow.

Well, you could also blame Lurch's one-track mind which never a government thug it didn't like.

When one has a totally unhinged leader (dictator practically), it may happen, yes.

Something like this ;-)

Not bad, but the picture quality is atrocious. And not a single one of the newspapers cared enough to send out a photographer or, at least, ask for a better shot...

Whatever, he is playing alone in the field and still doesn't realize that there are no more players out there...
