Protesters returned to Istanbul’s Taksim Square in smaller numbers and listened to a piano concert, ending an evening of subdued demonstrations that followed the previous night’s violent clashes.
Several thousand protesters went to Taksim late yesterday, chanting anti-government slogans as groups of police deployed around the square looked on. The previous night, police had used tear gas and water cannons to drive tens of thousands out of the square, the center for two weeks of anti-government demonstrations.
