Ali Ismail Korkmaz, 19, died during clashes between police,
civilians and demonstrators south-east of Istanbul. (to refer to events connected to the present, without a definite past time) The officers were given 10-year prison terms but protesters
outside the court in Kayseri said that was too lenient. (to refer to events connected to the present, without a definite past time)
The 2013 unrest was sparked by plans to redevelop Istanbul's
Gezi Park but grew into wider anti-government protests. (to describe the background events in a story) The decision by the court, which had also sentenced four
civilians to three to six years in prison and acquitted another two police
officers, drew angry reaction from the gallery. (to express precise detail)
Korkmaz's mother Emel Korkmaz cursed the Turkish justice
system as she left the courtroom, and the father of another victim of the Gezi
protests shouted: "You are not the people's police, but the police of
murderers". (to express precise detail)
As news of the sentence spread, comments appeared on social
media criticising what many see as a "lenient" punishment. (to show two events happening at the same time) Images on
Twitter showed people being tear gassed by police as they voiced their anger. (to refer to events connected to the present, without a definite past time) Speaking via a video link from a prison cell in Ankara,
Mevlut Saldogan, the first policeman sentenced, admitted to attacking other
protesters, but denied that he had murdered Korkmaz. (to refer to events connected to the present, without a definite past time.) Like in previous hearings, he stated that he "did what
was necessary", describing the Gezi protests as "an attempted
coup". (to express precise detail)
