Kurdish rally in favor of terrorist leader Ocalan dispersed in Southern Turkey

Turkish police have clashed with hundreds of supporters of a pro-Kurdish party in the south-eastern city of Van. Tear gas was used to break up the rally by the Democratic Society Party (DTP) when activists chanted in favor of jailed Kurdish PKK terrorist leader Abdullah Ocalan. The DTP, which has 20 seats in the 550-member Turkish Parliament is said to be linked to the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The DTP denies any such claim.
