(30 Oct 2016) Up to 400 protesters gathered in Istanbul on Sunday to protest the detention of the two co-mayors of Turkey's largest Kurdish-populated city, Diyarbakir, in south-east Turkey.
The two officials were detained for questioning as part of a "terrorism" investigation.
Gultan Kisanak, Diyarbakir's first female mayor, and Firat Anli are members of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party, or HDP, and were elected in the 2014 local elections.
Their detentions came amid a growing crackdown on the political party, which the government accuses of being a political wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
