Funeral Ceremony at Beyazıt Mosque

Pulse

Under a stifling hot sun, thousands of people gathered on Friday at Istanbul’s Beyazıt Mosque for Turkish humanitarian aid activist Cevdet Kılıçlar’s funeral ceremony. Kılıçlar was one among 9 victims of Israel’s deadly attack on board the Mavi Marmara on Monday. Belén Fernández and I were among the crowd, which was both sombre and charged. Read Fernández’s account here and find more photographs below.
