TURKEY - DIYARBAKIR - UNREST - PROTEST - CURFEW

TURKEY, Diyarbakir : Turkish riot police use a water canon to disperse the crowd during clashes between Turkish forces and Kurdish people in the centre of Diyarbakir, as they protest against the curfew in the Sur district of Diyarbakir, on March 2, 2016. Ankara has repeatedly imposed curfews for military operations in southeastern urban centres, in a measure the government says is necessary to root out PKK militants who were taking de-facto control in some areas. The Cizre curfew was one of the longest but a lockdown has also been in place since December 2 in the central Sur district which is home Turkey's biggest Kurdish majority city, Diyarbakir. According to the HDP, 25 citizens have been killed during the Sur curfew while several centuries-old historic and religious buildings have been destroyed.
