An episode of mistrust and tension was recorded outside the Ministry of Education, where an ambulance that arrived to transport an injured journalist was stopped by protesters for inspection.
The ambulance was blocked for a few moments
According to the version reported from the scene, the ambulance arrived to pick up the journalist, who had been injured in the head by stones thrown during the protest.
Before the vehicle was allowed to pass, protesters stopped it and asked to verify what was inside.
Suspicions over tear gas
Protesters opened the ambulance doors to check whether there was tear gas inside.
Their suspicion was linked to the claim that the ambulance had also been used earlier to transport tear gas to police officers on the ground. No further evidence is provided for this claim in the initial report.
Passage was allowed after the inspection
After carrying out the check and finding nothing suspicious, the protesters allowed the ambulance to continue.
The incident reflects the climate of mistrust accompanying clashes during protests, where even emergency vehicles face direct checks by the crowd.
The journalist had been injured in the head by stones thrown during the protest, while the ambulance was only able to take her after it was inspected by protesters.
The incident highlighted not only the tension on the ground, but also the high level of suspicion toward every movement near the protest cordon.
