The “standing man”, performance artist Erdem Gunduz, has become the latest symbol in the protests that have rocked Turkey for four weeks now. Mr Gunduz stood silently in protest in Taksim Square for eight hours on Monday. Others are following suit. It’s the latest strategy in a campaign that’s shown remarkable inventiveness by protesters, and remarkable ham handedness on the part of the authorities in dealing with them. With us in the studio of The Pulse at Radio Television Hong Kong, Kamilia Lahrichi, formerly a journalist in the region and a news desk editor in Beirut, talks about the protests.
