Turkish police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters who demonstrating against an attack on Radiohead fans at an Istanbul record store.

A mob of two dozen men stormed the Velvet IndieGround shop on Friday night, beating up customers attending an album launch party for drinking alcohol and listening to music during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

In response, several hundred protesters gathered on Saturday night in Istanbul’s upscale Cihangir neighbourhood to denounce the attack, shouting “shoulder to shoulder against fascism” and calling Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan a “murderer” and “thief”.

Buses of riot police and water-cannon vehicles swiftly moved in, dispersing the protesters within an hour by lobbing teargas into the crowd.

Even small-scale protests in Turkey are routinely met by teargas and water cannons since nationwide anti-government demonstrations erupted in summer 2013, prompting an intensifying crackdown on dissent.
