The �plight� of scores of women (and men, by the way) subjected to excessive force by police on grounds that they were involved in �unauthorized� demonstrations was one of the items on the agenda of the Turkish-EU Troika meeting.
The EU ministers and the new commissioner for enlargement were �upset� with �horrific scenes� of �police use of excessive force� on demonstrators and demanded that Ankara take immediate and effective measures to punish those responsible for the weekend incidents in Istanbul and make sure that such things �that do not befit the Turkey of today� are never again repeated."
