Attack on the Labor Day celebration on the 1 May 1977 in Istanbul, Turkey

The Bloody May Day was an attack on leftist demonstrators on 1 May 1977 in Taksim Square, Istanbul, Turkey. Casualty figures vary between 31 and 36 people killed with 126 to 220 injured. Over 500 demonstrators were later detained by the security forces, and 98 were indicted. None of the perpetrators were caught, although suspicion soon fell on the Counter-Guerrilla and associated right-wing groups.
