In Turkey, a New Form of Protest: Standing Silently for Hours

Turkish-silent-protest

Overnight, Turkish choreographer Erdem Gunduz has inspired a new form of anti-government protest: Standing silently while staring at his country's flag for hours on end.

Gunduz began his protest Tuesday alone in Istanbul, going unnoticed for several hours. Once people realized what he was doing, images of his actions (or lack thereof) went viral on Twitter. That inspired hundreds of protestors in Istanbul and other cities across the country to join him in motionless, mute demonstrations, according to the Associated Press.
