It was thought that protesters did not clash with police due to a call to observe a Muslim religious holiday. The protesters continued their sit-in and Gezi Park and Taksim square remained festooned with banners and flags on Thursday morning. Police in riot gear were on patrol. In the capital Ankara, city workers were out cleaning the streets and removing damage, following a large protest on Wednesday. A human rights group said that "several people" were hospitalised late on Wednesday when police used tear gas to disperse the protests in the city. Demonstrators were ignited into action last Friday when police raided a peaceful sit-in to prevent the demolition of Istanbul's Gezi Park. Events soon spiralled into demands for Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's resignation. The protest movement soon extended nationwide. The thousands of protesters are denouncing what they say is the government's increasingly authoritarian rule and its meddling in people's lifestyles. Erdogan, is to return late on Thursday from a four-day North African tour. All eyes will be on him to see if he softens his line.
