Turkish PM lashes out at protesters

None

Turkish police on Tuesday detained at least 20 people allegedly involved in violent protests, as the country's prime minister continued to lash out at protesters, and a BBC journalist, he claimed were part of a conspiracy to harm Turkey.

 

Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters marched to Istanbul's central Taksim square, this time to denounce a court decision that freed, pending trial, a police officer accused of killing a demonstrator during the anti-government protests that swept the country since May 31. Police surrounded the square, blocking their access. (AP)
