		</div><p>Pop star Lady Gaga and a European rights official have condemned the attacks on Istanbul’s gay pride rally after security forces doused demonstrators with water cannon and tear gas.</p>
<p>Gay rights protesters dispersed after gathering at the city’s Taksim Square, an unusual flare-up as previous rallies had taken place without interference.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Istanbul? Who are these ";leaders";! Stop attacking innocent happy people who are celebrating this is madness! This is inhumane!</p>
<p>&mdash; Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) <a href="https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/615176894686851073">June 28, 2015</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Organisers said the Turkish government only barred them from Taksim at the last minute, saying they could not gather there during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.</p>
<p>The Istanbul Governor’s office said no permission was sought for the rally and security forces acted proportionately.</p>
<p>A message posted to Lady Gaga’s Twitter account urged Turkish authorities to “celebrate both Ramadan and Pride in PEACE”.</p>
<p>The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Nils Muiznieks, also condemned the violence.</p>
