Gezi Park Protests
A wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Turkey began on 28 May 2013, initially to contest the urban development plan for Istanbul's Taksim Gezi Park. The protests were sparked by outrage at the violent eviction of a sit-in at the park protesting the plan. Subsequently, supporting protests and strikes took place across Turkey, protesting against a wide range of concerns at the core of which were issues of freedom of the press, of expression and of assembly, as well as the alleged political Islamist government's erosion of Turkey's secularism. With no centralised leadership beyond the small assembly that organised the original environmental protest, the protests have been compared to the Occupy movement and the May 1968 events.

Abdurrahim Boynukalin
ʻAbd al-Raḥīm (ALA-LC romanization of ar, عبد الرحيم) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ''ʻabd'', ''al-Raḥīm'', one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. It means "servant of the merciful". Because the letter ''r'' is a sun letter, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus, although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Rahim'', the standard pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd ar-Rahim''. Alternative transliterations include ''Abdel Raheem'', ''Abdur Raheem'', ''Abdul Rahiem'' and other regional linguistic variations, and subject to variant spacing or hyphenation. It may refer to: Given name *Abd al-Rahim ibn al-Husain al-'Iraqi (1325–1403), Shafi'i scholar of hadith *Abdul Rahim Khan-I-Khana (1556–1627), Indian poet *Abdur Rahim (judge) (1867–1952), Indian judge and politician *Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev (1 ...
