STORYLINE
Turkish police clashed with stone-throwing demonstrators across the country's predominantly Kurdish southeast on Sunday, during protests marking the 10th anniversary of a separatist rebel leader's capture, state-run media reported.
In the region's largest city, Diyarbakir, a group of 1,500 people on an illegal march defied police warnings to disperse.
Police fired water cannons and tear gas to break up the protests about the continued imprisonment of Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, the Anatolia news agency reported.
In Diyarbakir, a cameraman filming protesters throwing stones at police got hit by a stone causing an injury to his head.
Members of the Democratic Society Party (DTP), the main Kurdish political party in Turkey, were seen scuffling with police outside the party building in Diyarbakir.
Fighting also broke out in Istanbul, where an Associated Press photographer reported seeing police fire shots in the air and throw stones back at a group of some 50 masked Kurdish youths, who set tyres alight and chanted slogans in support of Ocalan.
Police said they detained some 50 protesters and that around 20 people, including police officers, were injured.
The PKK has fought for autonomy in the region since 1984 and thousands of people have been killed.
The United States and the European Union regard the PKK as a terrorist group.
Ocalan was captured in Kenya in 1999 and returned to Turkey where he was sentenced to death for treason.
His sentence was later commuted to life in prison.
He is the sole inmate of an island prison off Istanbul.
His supporters have expressed concern about his health and want an end to his solitary confinement.
