ACTION:
Notice of passport travel restriction.

In the latest Turkish crackdown on civil freedoms, the governor's office
in Turkey's capital, Ankara, announced a month-long ban on public
gatherings and all forms of protests, including sit-ins, hunger strikes,
concerts and similar gatherings in order to "protect public order"
claiming that such activities increase the chances of terrorist attacks.

For a time back in 2015, there were widespread concerns that the spike in terrorist attacks in Germany in the aftermath of Angela Merkel's open door policy which admitted 1 million refugees in Germany from the middle east would lead to a popular wave of unrest, perhaps culminating with the unseating of Angela Merkel as Chancellor. It now appears that the Germans had more pressing concerns on their mind like... global warming.
