Summary: | An uncontrolled use of "demonstration control agents" commonly known as "teargas agents" has recently been a common practice in Turkey. One of the first massive uses of these agents had been during a meeting of the North Atlantic Council and NATO in 2004, in Istanbul.

Their files have been reviewed retrospectively and were classified regarding age, sex, physical findings related of chemical agents, and other injuries. |
