Death of Turkish boy hurt in protests triggers fresh unrest
By Mehmet Emin Caliskan ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Police and protesters clashed in Turkey's two biggest cities on Tuesday following the death of a 15-year-old boy who suffered a head injury during anti-government demonstrations last summer. Berkin Elvan, then aged 14, got caught up in street battles in Istanbul between police and protesters on June 16 after going out to buy bread for his family. Police fired tear gas and water cannon in the capital Ankara to disperse more than 2,000 people, mainly students from the Middle East Technical University (ODTU), who blocked a main highway to protest against the teenager's death. Police also used tear gas in Istanbul after a crowd outside the hospital where Elvan died began pelting a police minibus with objects.
