More than 20,000 people gathered in Istanbul against Erdogan and his reactionary policies<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Haziran Organisation had called for a\u00a0protest\u00a0meeting in Istanbul at Kartal Square on November 20. Many leftist parties, organisations and trade unions including DISK and KESK,\u00a0and the People\u2019s Democratic Party (HDP) participated in the protest.\u00a0 Republican People\u2019s Party (CHP) had previously said that they would participate but pulled back at the last moment.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The main theme of the protest meeting was \u201cWe will not surrender\u201d. The demonstrators chanted different slogans against Erdogan\u2019s Justice and Development Party (AKP) and in defence of secularism and civil rights. One of the interesting slogans was \u201cISIS is Murderer, AKP its Collaborator\u201d. The demonstrators also chanted \u201cthis is only the beginning, our struggle will continue.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Participants in the meeting also carried banners against the bill proposed by the Erdogan\u2019s AKP, according to which\u00a0child abusers who marry their victims\u00a0will be paroled\u00a0(the bill is known as child abusers\u2019 parole bill among the people) and chanted\u00a0\u00a0slogans against the bill.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n
