Police and demonstrators clashed in Kurdish-dominated south -eastern Turkey on Sunday as tensions mounted the day after two Kurdish men were killed in protests that turned violent.
Police fired tear gas and water cannon at demonstrators who threw stones and burnt barricades following the funeral of one of the victims killed Saturday in the Lice district of Kurdish majority Diyarbakir province.
Sunday's confrontation came after the two Kurdish protesters, aged 24 and 50, died of gunshot wounds sustained during fierce clashes between soldiers and demonstrators angry at government plans to build military barracks in Lice.
