Protesters violently ejected from Erdogan speech in NYC - News Summed Up

Protesters violently ejected from Erdogan speech in NYC


Violence broke out at another event involving Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, four months after a widely publicized brawl in Washington that led to the indictment of 15 Turkish security personnel. According to the Associated Press, the dust-up began after one demonstrator got up and shouted, “Terrorist!” during Erdogan’s speech. In May, what appeared to be packs of Turkish security personnel were clearly seen on video chasing after, hitting and kicking protesters who had gathered outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington. Nineteen people were indicted last month following that incident, including 15 identified as Turkish security officers. That was the latest in a series of incidents around the world in recent years at which Erdogan security forces were accused of attacking or committing violence against protestors.
