Authoritarian state rebounds on the street as street gangs

Our offices have been attacked by a mob twice and most recently writer Ahmet Hakan has been attacked, he and his bodyguard beaten earlier this week.
I have loads of knowledge about terrorist attacks, separate attacks and what precautions an individual can take but that does not stop me from being afraid. I am trying to be careful but I am afraid. I am very afraid. I am not a famous journalist like Ahmet Hakan; nobody is going to follow me home and beat me up.
