Dear Umut,

"Citizen drones" have apparently been used recently in Istanbul to have an overview of the crowds and the tactics used by Turkish police around Taksim Square. 

See article from Slate's journalist Ryan Gallagher here : http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2013/06/24/turkish_protests_police_reportedly_shoot_down_demonstrators_drone_video.html

and in French here : http://www.slate.fr/monde/74409/turquie-police-drone-video

which covers the story of "Jenk" videos using some technics of "drone journalism". 

Best,

Mehmet Koksal

This means more boat people that arrived seeking asylum were incarcerated. Many have weighed into why this might be the case. I have kept trying to write an analysis for internationals to better understand but am left without words that are adequate. This situation is over-politicised and I can't even begin to answer the simple question you asked - a data question - without feeling it is impossible to describe. Are there more people because the world got shittier? Or did Australia just get shittier? Hmm.
