Istanbul riot police move in to clear Taksim Square
Protesters pushed back into Gezi Park, where Turkey's largest protests in years began
Hundreds of police clad in riot gear pushed easily past barricades in Istanbul's central Taksim Square early on Tuesday, and many of the protesters who had occupied the square for more than a week were pushed into a nearby park.
Police briefly fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets, prompting many of the protesters to flee the square into Gezi Park, where many had been camping.
