Turkish Police Continue Protest Crackdown 
------------------------------------------


 
Police in Turkey are continuing a crackdown on mass anti-government
protests. On Wednesday, police in Ankara fired tear gas and water
cannons at a large crowd rallying in the capital Ankara. At least 3,300
people have been arrested in five days of protests. One Turkish activist
said the protesters are undeterred.

Ömer Madra: "Today we have the third person killed and more than 2,000
people got injured wounded and so on. But the number of attendees taking
part in this huge thing doesn't get less at all. Nobody is afraid
anymore."
