Monday’s replacement by state-appointed governors of three pro-Kurdish mayors, including those of the major cities of Mardin and Batman, sparked outrage from residents and condemnations from the Council of Europe and human rights groups.
The three ousted elected officials are members of DEM, the main pro-Kurdish party and the third force in the Turkish parliament.
Authorities immediately banned all gatherings in several provinces in the country’s predominantly Kurdish southeast in an attempt to quell the protests.
However, images released mid-week in Batman showed police being targeted by protesters and being met with water cannons.
