Political protesters are expected to gather around Taksim Square, Istanbul, Turkey, on July 7 at 7:00 PM; heightened security expected.
Protesters will gather to denounce the NATO Summit occurring in Ankara, Turkey, from July 7 to July 8 . Hundreds of protesters are expected to participate, resulting in localized travel delays in Istanbul’s city center. Clashes with local authorities are likely, as the Turkish government has banned protests, is using enhanced force at protest sites (e.g. tear gas), and has arrested hundreds of protesters.
