		</div><p>Turkish police have used tear gas to prevent people from gathering in large numbers for an LGBT pride march in Istanbul. Organisers of the 2017 Istanbul LGBTI+ Pride called for the parade in central Taksim Square, using a Turkish hashtag for &#8220;we march&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Istanbul governor&#8217;s office on Saturday banned the event &#8211; for the third year in a row &#8211; citing reasons of safety and public order. Police established checkpoints in the area on Sunday, preventing groups<br />
from entering Istiklal Avenue and turning back people who they deemed were associated with the march.</p>
<p>At least a hundred protesters gathered in the nearby Cihangir neighbourhood, beating drums and chanting slogans: &#8220;Don&#8217;t be quiet, shout out, gays exist!&#8221;</p>
<p>Police used tear gas to disperse crowds and activists said plastic bullets were also used.</p>
