Protests Re-erupt After Death of Teen

Tuesday saw a return of mass protests across Turkey after the death of fifteen-year-old Berkin Elvan.  Berkin had spent the last 269 days in a coma after being hit in the head by a police-fired tear gas canister during the Gezi Park protests last June.  Two articles from the Financial Times explain the seriousness of the situation.  http://go.iu.edu/arN , http://go.iu.edu/arO .
