Yellow taxis pass people standing in silence during a protest at Taksim Square
Yellow taxis pass people standing in silence during a protest at Taksim Square in Istanbul June 19, 2013. Turkeys deputy prime minister said on Wednesday he had no objection to silent anti-government protests inspired by a symbolic " Standing Man" vigil, comments that could help draw the sting out of three weeks of often violent demonstrations.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Marko Djurica, a sea of yellow taxis passes through Taksim Square in Istanbul as people stand silently during a protest. The date is June 19,2013, and Turkey's deputy prime minister has expressed his support for these peaceful demonstrations inspired by the symbolic "Standing Man" vigil. The photograph encapsulates the tension and resilience that defined three weeks of often violent protests in the city. Against a backdrop of civil unrest and political turmoil, ordinary citizens gather to voice their dissent without uttering a single word. Their silence speaks volumes about their determination to be heard and their refusal to back down. As the yellow taxis navigate through the crowd, they become more than just vehicles; they are witnesses to history unfolding before them. They pass by individuals who have come together with one purpose – demanding change and justice from those in power. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, unity can prevail. It captures both the strength of collective action and the quiet resolve of individuals standing up for what they believe in. Through this lens, we witness not only an act of defiance but also hope for a better future. Marko Djurica's photograph immortalizes this momentous occasion when silence became louder than any words spoken or shouted. It stands as a testament to human resilience and our unwavering spirit when faced with adversity.
