Riots in Istanbul against IMF summit

(By Mick, from: http://de.indymedia.org/2009/10/262784.shtml)

Clashes in Istanbul between protestors against IMF summit, cops' special
forces, fascists and parastate. One demonstrator killed, 100
demonstrators taken (is not yet confirmed if they are arrested) in
police stations.

Until 17:00 kept on the struggles and the demonstrators' resistance
against repression they suffered from the cops, who beated up anyone
that protested against the IMF summit in Turkey. When the people got
informed that there was a dead demonstrator regathered and got in
streets again shouting "cops-assasins".

Ishak Kavlo, 55 years old, felt on the ground, an ambulance arrived and
after some time he passed away because of heart attack. It happened what
happened in London some months ago, when during the continuation of
cops' repression against demonstrations opposing G-20 summit a man has
been murdered after being beated up from cops.

Since 10:00 (local time) lots of demonstrators went in the streets and
gathered at Beyoglu district, where around 3.000 people had the will to
demonstrate until the central square of Taksim, trying to reach the
point where the summit was taking place.

A little bit later, when the demonstrators were 100 meters away from the
place that IMF was in summit, the cops' special forces attacked the
gathered people with plastic bullets, chemicals and water canons,
instead that the demonstration has not started yet moving.

After this, a big wave of cop repression and brutality attacks in the
central roads of the town. On the other hand, people reacted to those
actions with molotov coctails and attacks against glasses of rich stores
and banks.

Around 15:00 the clashes have been stopped, the central pedestrian zone
was almost empty because the cops have thrown so many chemicals, that
the demonstrators could not breath.

Last Thursday a student has thrown his shoes to the face of the general
chief of the IMF Dominique Strauss-Kahn, during he was giving a speech
in Bilgi University.
