Alt for four images: 1. A person in a black robe and a tall brown felt hat stands facing a line of riot police holding shields labeled “Polis.” The person is being sprayed with pepper spray, and the air is filled with mist and debris. The person wears a gas mask and stands with a composed posture amid the chaos. 2. The same person in black robes and a tall brown felt hat stands calmly with arms folded while being sprayed with pepper spray by riot police. The individual wears a gas mask and stands on a wet street littered with water bottles. A line of police in helmets and shields labeled “Polis” stands in the background. 3. A person wearing a black robe, gas mask, and tall brown felt hat stands with arms outstretched in front of a row of riot police. The police hold transparent shields marked “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet.” Smoke fills the air, and the scene is illuminated by strong overhead lights. 4. A similar scene shows the same person in a dramatic pose with arms wide open and head tilted back, wearing the same attire. Smoke surrounds the area, and the line of riot police with shields labeled “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet” remains in the background. Debris is scattered on the ground.
