Following the death of a protester last night in Antakya, protest marches were called for tonight in Istanbul and Ankara.
Large numbers of police and pressurized water cannons have been mobilized and the Taksim/Gezi Park area and other areas in Istanbul and Ankara have been closed off by the police in preparation.
There are large protests going on in Antakya now.
It is 6:45pm in Turkey now.
This is a live feed of the protests:
