Turkish protesters turn Istanbul mosque into makeshift hospital

ISTANBUL :A total of 173 people were injured in clashes between protesters and policemen in the nationwide protests in the past week, according to Turkish authorities on Monday.

Turkish Interior Minister Muammer Guler said that 115 police officers and 58 protesters were injured in the anti-government demonstrations which were staged last week by a group of protesters in Istanbul Taksim's Gezi Park to stand guard against the uprooting of trees.Protesters used a mosque in Istanbul’s Besiktas district near the prime minister’s office as a makeshift hospital following attacks by police early in the hours of June 3.




Nearly 100 people injured in the clashes sought sanctuary in the Bezmi Alem Valide Sultan Mosque, where a group of volunteer doctors treated them.

Police, however, fired gas bombs into the mosque’s garden.
