Despite May Day events being banned by Turkey's national government unions there uphold the tradition of marching to Taksim Square in Istanbul. This year police again met the marchers and over 200 were arrested. Here a police officer is trying to figure out the meaning of the flag carried by Jan Willem Goudriaan, the Gen-Sec of the European Public Service Union, as he joined this year's march. (Photo: K.
