Not entirely sure what they were protesting, whether the spirit of ANZAC Day (which is on the anniversary of the battle at Galipoli) or some ongoing issue in Turkey.
I was stunned, overwhelmed, and astonished by the protest at Shahbag. Within minutes I was engulfed by the spirit, energy, and excitement of the crowd there, immediately drawn in the public's desire to get "proper" justice. The environment was phenomenal--there were people from all backgrounds, ages, and religions--and the air was electric with the slogans, optimism, and hopefulness of the crowd.
The country has finally united against an enemy that has burdened it with corruption and hatred even before it was born.

A lot of the people at the protest spend the entire day in Harvard Square, though the actual protest begins in the evening. It is cold, windy and while it is raising awareness I do not know how much it is accomplishing beyond that yet.
I'm told that sometimes, friends pick up their children and bring them to the protest in the afternoon and the kids get to spend the rest of the day until 8pm in the square. So amongst the solemn chants, and the cars honking for Free Tibet, there are little kids voices playing tag. It isn't uncommon to see people holding banners in one hand and toys in the other and hear people asking around for their kids.

A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.
