Days of resistance to a planned mall on the site of Taksim Gezi Park entered a new dimension May 31 after protesters in the park were subjected to hours of attacks on May 31 by police armed with gas bombs and water cannon.

Interior Minister Muammer Güler defended the police efforts, saying they had no other option, while also promising an investigation. Each day of the protests, which started May 26, have brought more people to the park, while social media users have made the hashtag #DirenGeziParki (ResistGeziPark) a global trending topic on Twitter.
