Day 3 in Istanbul riots, photos from our day outside demonstration


We were having a drink in a cafe, when the tear gas shells started blasting - and we were rushed inside and placed behind a glass window - watching clouds of tear gas pass.







Later we sat down for shisha in Tophane - demonstrators were running towards us, the sound of gas shells being fired and clouds of tear gas pass.
From our shisha place, while clouds of tear gas hovered past us, awnings (markiser) rolled out and sprayed water to keep the gas from coming into the restaurant.
An improvised barricade in lower Istiklal street - hundreds of metres away from Taksim square. The street was filled with debris, broken tiles and cobble stones.
