The building in the photo is making rounds on social media. It belongs to the Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects. The organization has been warning for years the authorities in Turkey about the lack of preparedness for earthquakes.
In 2019, in a statement issued to mark the 20th anniversary of the Izmit earthquake, the Union said the government had abandoned earthquake preparedness in the name of profit. dw.com/en/istanbul-un…
They have also warned that the new airport in Hatay was built on the fault line. The images of split take-off and landing runways have made news rounds since the earthquake. avionews.it/en/item/124941…

Oh my goodness. Huge, huge news from Turkey. #OsmanKavala has been acquitted in the #GeziPark trial along with all the other defendants, which we @BarHumanRights have been monitoring - with growing and grave concern.
Such rare good news from Turkey. Waiting to hear from @KJDbarrister the detail of what happened this morning! @BarHumanRights
But big questions remain. Why was this case prosecuted at all? Why did it go on so long based on such fundamental flaws, Kavala detained for some 2.5 years? The case strongly suggests judicial proceedings being used to harass critics. These are still frightening times in Turkey.

Wiederholung:
Nein, das ist nicht #Tempelhof für alle in #Berlin oder Hamburg oder Schwanitz. Das "Feld", auf dem der Freizeitbedarf der neuen Angestellten in den Städten auf politische Raumaneignung
trifft, ist kein Festival. Die "Initiative Tempelhof für Alle" gibt es so nicht mehr. 5 Jahre sind es jetzt, dass in Gärten ohne Zaun etwas wachsen sollte (tfa.blogsport.de).

Day 1 #GeziPark #Kavala trial saw a packed courtroom in Istanbul & a high number of international observers.

Of poignant note was the Greek delegation of lawyers from Kavala, Greece.

Tomorrow expected to be a full day.

A full report to follow. @BarHumanRights @article19org
@BarHumanRights @article19org The Court heard the defence statements of Osman Kavala, Yiğit Aksakoğlu, Mucella Yapıcı, Çiğdem Mater & Hakan Altınay. Others to follow.

Worth noting a crowded courtroom rose to give both Kavala & Aksakoğlu a long, hearty and respectful applause, many times over. #GeziPark
@BarHumanRights @article19org #GeziPark Day 2 trial update.

The Court heard from 4 other Defendants, & lawyers’ statements for Kavala & Aksakoğlu. Court refused to allow public back for interim decision. A few international observers eventually permitted to stay, including @BarHumanRights.

Analyse de la composition du mouvement des #GiletsJaunes «très composite, aux revendications encore peu solides et facilement récupérables par l'extrême-droite» mais sur laquelle se greffe aussi une colère légitime

«La question fondamentale est bien celle de la faiblesse du pouvoir d’achat, des salaires, à commencer par le smic, des pensions et des allocation» journal.lutte-ouvriere.org/2018/11/14/pou…
Si le mouvement du #17novembre prend un caractère de réappropriation des richesses et ne se limite pas au samedi, l'extrême droite ne pourra plus soutenir les #GiletsJaunes journal.lutte-ouvriere.org/2018/11/14/17-…
