| [Hurriyet Daily News] Daily Hurriyet's Istanbul headquarters and Ankara offices were pelted with stones by club-swinging protesters on Sept. 8, less than 48 hours after a similar attack by Justice and Development Party (AKP) supporters. Around 100 protesters arrived at the outer gate of the building at 8:30 p.m., with four gunshots heard as they approached. Protesters forced their way into the garden despite the presence of a small unit of riot police. Security forces prevented them from entering the building at the last moment, and protesters, who were chanting "God is great," were removed from the garden after more police units came 25 minutes later. |
