TOPSHOT - Turkish riot policemen beats a LGBT rights activist after Turkish authorities banned the event for a fourth year in a row, on July 1, 2018 in Istanbul. Around 1,000 people gathered on a street near Istiklal Avenue and Taksim Square where organisers wanted to originally hold the parade, an AFP photographer said. Police warned activists to disperse but used rubber bullets against some who tried to access Istiklal Avenue. / AFP PHOTO / BULENT KILIC
