During today's "May Day" in Istanbul, riot police detained at least 164 people who were trying to reach Taksim square for the International Labour Day celebrations. Taksim Square holds a special place for labour unions and political groups in Turkey celebrating May 1st: it is where an armed attack occured in 1977 (killing 34 labour protesters) and where anti-government Gezi Park mass protests took place in 2013. #1mayıs #mayday #laborday #Istanbul #Turkey May 2022 ©️Emin Özmen @magnumphotos
