France accused of hypocrisy over protest policing versus Gezi

Original: "Remember those days when France was lecturing Turkey because of the Gezi Park events" "Today, imagine what they've done

A Turkish commentator is drawing a contrast between France's past criticism of Turkey's crackdown during the 2013 Gezi Park protests and its own handling of demonstrators today. The claim being circulated is that French police stopped children as young as 15 at subway exits to inspect protest signs and verify the phrases written on them. The argument being made is that France has no standing to lecture Turkey about protest rights.

Why now: Recent French policing of protesters is being used to accuse France of hypocrisy after it criticized Turkey's Gezi Park crackdown.
