Turkish police clashed with hundreds of protesters firing rubber bullets, tear gas canisters and drenching those gathered with a water cannon in Istanbul, Saturday.
The rally was called in solidarity with Radiohead fans that were attacked by a group of men at the Velvet IndieGround music store in the Turkish capital, Friday, during a presentation of the band's new album. The group of music fans had gathered for the event when a group unknown people broke into the premises, damaging equipment and beating the fans. A live-stream of the event captured the moment of the attack.
The fans are thought to have been targeted due to their listening to music during the holy month a Ramadan, a practice that some Muslims believe to be forbidden.
