Fresh clashes between Kurdish protesters and police in southeast Turkey killed one protester and injured 10 on Saturday, security sources said. The latest death brought the toll in this week's violence to eight dead. Riots erupted on Tuesday after funeral ceremonies for 14 members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) killed last weekend by security forces. The latest clashes erupted near the Syrian border in the town of Kiziltepe, a town of around 100,000 people south of the mainly Kurdish region's largest city Diyarbakir, where most of this week's violence has been focused. About 1,000 demonstrators set fire to the branches of at least two major banks and a building used by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). "We are very sad about what happened to this man in the prime of his life," Cihan Sincar, the mayor of Kiziltepe, told Reuters by telephone when asked about the death.
