Democracy Silenced

In the previous post, you saw an incredible banner of the AKP supporters.

There was another banner in the same AKP meeting in Istanbul yesterday. However, this one was belonged to two protestors.

A couple of students, who wanted to stage a protest against AKP's Mayor of Istanbul, have tried to show the banner, which just reads "Hey Municipality, Give Us Our Study Grants!"

That was a peaceful reaction to the recent decision of the mayor, blocking the fund which was alloted to low-income university students.

And do you know what happened to those students? How did all the "democratic"AKP supporters react in front of their Prime Minister, who was angry at the press again even because of this student mischief, yelling, "Hey media, did you find something interesting there?"

Please watch it here.
