# Riot Police Intervenes “Day Of Peace” Protest In Taksim, One Journalist Wounded
\- As the September 1 “Day of Peace” marked the agenda amid security tension in Turkey, a group of around 500 people that have wanted to march on Taksim’s Istiklal street and compose a “peace chain” within protest were intervened by riot police officers with water cannons and tear gas.
