Saturday June 8th demonstration in front of the Parliament

On Saturday June 8th, 2013 a crowd of 400+ protesters from Toronto, Montreal, Kingston, Ottawa and other surrounding cites gathered in front of the Parliament Hill to support the Gezi Park protesters and demonstrated against the use of excessive police force in Turkey.

Protesters urged Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to adopt a peaceful language and demanded that those responsible for the violence be removed from their duties and brought to justice.

Protesters called the Government of Canada and all members of Parliament to speak out against the violation of basic democratic rights, and to reiterate our message calling for peace and dialogue.

Everywhere is Taksim, everywhere is resistance , the people united will never be defeated, Tayyip Resign, Chemical Tayyip, AKP will pay back, chanted by protesters.

Rally followed by a candlelight vigil to condemn police violence, raise awareness, and commemorate those who have been injured and those who have lost their lives during the protests.
