Turkish troops break jail revolt |
| Security forces in Turkey say they have regained control of one of the two jails still holding out against attempts to end a nation-wide revolt and hunger strike. More than 150 protesters surrendered peacefully at the jail in the city of Canakkale, in western Turkey, but more than 400 others were still holding out at Umraniye jail in Istanbul. The BBC's Jonathan Charles reports from Istanbul. |
