Turkey detains 2 journalists, others in PKK raids
By Reuters 
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish police detained 60 people on Saturday, including 
two journalists suspected of belonging to or aiding the outlawed Kurdistan 
Workers Party (PKK), the state-run Anatolian news agency reported.


The arrests were made in simultaneous raids in three cities in the largely 
Kurdish southeast and in Istanbul, Turkey's biggest city, the agency said.


Nevin Erdemir and Alattin Bati, two reporters for the Kurdish-language 
newspaper Azadiya Welat, were among those detained. Both were charged with 
belonging to or supporting the PKK and released pending trial, Anatolian said.

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to expand Kurdish political rights, as 
well as freedom of the press, to meet European Union membership standards and 
end a 25-year war with the PKK, which has sought autonomy in southeast Turkey.

Those efforts were undermined by a Constitutional Court ruling last month that 
banned parliament's pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) on charges it 
has links with the PKK. Judges also barred two DTP lawmakers from politics, 
prompting violent protests across the southeast at the time.

Also on Saturday, about 400 people who attended an address by a former DTP 
lawmaker threw rocks at shops and at police in Dogubeyazit near the Iranian 
border, security officials said. An unspecified number of people were 
arrested.

Police in the town of Yuksekova near the Iraqi border clashed with a group of 
people protesting the DTP ruling and the harassment of its successor the Peace 
and Democracy Party, as well as the treatment of jailed PKK leader Abdullah 
Ocalan, officials said. Several people were arrested, they said.


Turkey blames Ocalan for the deaths of 40,000 people in the conflict with the 
PKK. He is serving life in prison after his death sentence was commuted in 
2002.
