The following is a timeline of the Gezi Park protests in Turkey of citizens and supporters against actions and plans of the government of Turkey. The timeline is segmented into days. ==28–31 May== On the morning of 28 May, around 50 environmentalists were camping out in Istanbul at Gezi Park, in order to prevent its demolition.〔 The protesters, with the help of BDP MP Sırrı Süreyya Önder, initially halted attempts to bulldoze the park by refusing to leave. The Zabıta municipal police used tear gas to disperse the peaceful protesters and burned down their tents in order to allow the bulldozing to continue.〔 Photos of the scene, such as an image of a young female protester (later nicknamed the ("woman in red" )) holding her ground while being sprayed by a policeman, quickly spread throughout the media across the world. ''The Washington Post'' reported that the image "encapsulates Turkey's protests and the severe police crackdown", while Reuters called the image an "iconic (leitmotif )". Alerted to the happenings by social media, on 29 May the size of the protests grew, as additional protesters joined the encampment and put up more tents. Other prominent people joined Sırrı Süreyya Önder in the protest, including Republican People's Party vice president Gürsel Tekin, singer Can Bonomo, actors and actresses Gonca Vuslateri, Memet Ali Alabora, Okan Bayülgen and Şebnem Sönmez. On 30 May, police raided the protesters' encampments. Online activists' calls for support against the police crackdown increased the number of sit-in protesters by the evening. Police carried out another raid on the encampment in the early morning of 31 May. The police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the protesters to surrounding areas〔Turkish Weekly, 1 June 2013, (‘Occupy Taksim’ grows in spite of crackdown )〕 and set up barricades around the park to prevent re-occupation.〔 Throughout the day, the police continued to fire tear gas, pepper spray and water cannons at demonstrators, resulting in reports of more than 100 injuries. Sırrı Süreyya Önder was hospitalised after being hit in the shoulder by a tear gas canister.〔New York Times, 31 May 2013, (Police Attack Protesters in Istanbul’s Taksim Square )〕 Some protesters threw rocks at the security forces.〔 The executive order regarding the process decided earlier had been declared as 'on-hold' on 31 May 2013. 10,000 gathered in Istiklal Avenue. According to governor Hüseyin Avni Mutlu, 63 people had been arrested and detained.〔 The police use of tear gas was criticised for being "indiscriminate". The interior minister, Muammer Guler, said the claims of the use of disproportionate force would be investigated.〔 Protests also spread to Ankara and Izmir. In Ankara, a helicopter was used to fire tear gas at the protesters, and police were seen chasing demonstrators into shops with electric shock batons.〔 Clashes between protesters and security forces continued all night long in Ankara. In İzmir, more than 10,000 people held a protest on 31 May, with demonstrators holding banners reading "Everywhere is Taksim, everywhere is resistance", "Resist Taksim, İzmir is with you", and "Chemical Erdoğan". Protesters in İzmir were also raided by police armed with tear gas, plastic bullets and water cannons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeline of the Gezi Park protests」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
