Turkish Protesters Recreate Oscars Selfie From the Back of a Police Van

Turkish protester Ali Emre Mazlumoğlu took the above photo from the back of a police van March 7.

The caption, roughly translated, says they’re in custody in a police car. The photo, of course, recalls Ellen Degeneres’ famous Oscars selfie, in which she snapped a photo of herself surrounded by Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Hudson, Julia Roberts, and a slew of other very rich people. That picture, with over 3 million retweets, was the most retweeted image ever. So far, the Turkish protesters have about 5,000.
