Clashes in Turkey during May 1 demonstrations
Turkey
Turkish riot police used water canon and tear gas on Wednesday in a bid to disperse hundreds of protesters who defied a Labour Day ban on demonstrations in a central part of Istanbul.
The ban was imposed to avoid trouble during renovation work taking place at the symbolic Taksim square, a traditional rallying point.
Protesters threw stones at the police who tried to prevent the protest in the Besiktas neighborhood of Istanbul, which is about two kilometers (a mile) from Taksim square.
