A protester runs away as Turkish riot police use water cannons to disperse protesters during a demonstration against the recent mine accident in Soma, on May 22, 2014, in the Okmeydani district of Istanbul. One man was injured when Turkish riot police today fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse a group of Istanbul protesters hurling Molotov cocktails and stones. Tensions are high in Turkey with the approach of the first anniversary of deadly nationwide anti-government protests and in the wake of an unprecedented mine disaster that claimed 301 lives last week.
