Turkish police fired water cannon and teargas to disperse a rally by some 2,000 people outside an Ankara court over the handling of the trial of a policeman accused of murdering a protester earlier this year. Reuters reported that police clashed with the crowd as it descended on the court entrance following a ruling that the accused officer could take part in court hearings via video link. Local media claimed several of demonstrators were injured, although there was no further confirmation of this.
