Authorities have banned transgender and gay pride marches in June over fears people would be attacked by those from the far-right. UItra-nationalists had warned that so called 'degenerates' they would be targeted if a 'Trans Pride' rally went ahead. Hundreds of riot police cordoned off the city's main Taksim Square to prevent the rally taking place and attacked demonstrators. Ebru Kiranci, spokesman for the Istanbul LGBTI Solidarity Association, said: 'Football fans can rally in this country whenever they want. We were going to do a peaceful activity.' The annual gay pride parade, described as the biggest in the Muslim world, was due to take place on June 26. Istanbul has held gay pride parades since 2003, attracting tens of thousands of marchers, but last year's was broken up by police.
