The protest, which should have ended at 6 pm, was staged against an event held at the LBH building accused of promoting communism. A day earlier, the police disbanded a seminar on 1965 tragedy planned by the LBH.


The event held on Sunday at the LBH building would have featured art performances but the protesters considered it as a continuation of the seminar.
