Turkey protesters demand dismissal of police chiefs
June 05, 2013
Activists in Turkey have called for the sacking of police chiefs in Istanbul, Ankara and other cities over their forces' violent responses to protests.
They presented a series of demands to Deputy PM Bulent Arinc, who on Tuesday apologised to injured protesters.
The crackdown on protests over the redevelopment of a park in Istanbul last week triggered nationwide unrest.
Thousands of striking workers have now joined demonstrations to demand Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan resign.
