Around a thousand people are injured during the Gezi Park protests in Istanbul. Police arrest around 100 demonstrators. Tens of thousands of people are protesting the construction of a building complex modelled on an old Ottoman barracks, which would require removal of the trees in the small park. Police are using water cannons and tear gas against the demonstrators as they clear the park.
