Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Turkey. You are not alone! - siła social media by pokazać jedność z protestującymi w Stambule.
As an unprecedented wave of police repression and violence affects protestors in Turkey, what can you do?
As we watch these horrific scenes, we are not powerless. One voice of protest can be ignored, but thousands, and hundreds of thousands cannot.
Please use this electronic form to write to Turkish officials, voicing your concerns. You can use Amnesty International’s model language or use your own, but your letter should be brief, factual, and polite. Urge your friends and family to write letters as well.
Your letters should do the following:
A. Call on the authorities to immediately end the excessive use of force against peaceful protestors
B. Call for them to ensure the right to freedom of expression and assembly
C. Urge them to initiate a prompt, independent and impartial investigation into the excessive use of force and bring to justice law enforcement officials found to have ill-treated demonstrators or other members of the public.
Write to the Turkish government online now!
Please tell friends and family to do the same - every letter counts, and this is an urgent situation
Taksim tonight!

The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy
What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.
This is incredible.
