A group of youths demanding freedom for Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Ocalan [jailed head of PKK/Kongra-Gel, Kurdistan Workers' Party/People's Congress of Kurdistan], have undertaken an action in Istanbul, hurling Molotov cocktails. Various demonstrations were also held in Izmir, Amed [Diyarbakir], and Malatya.
Carrying flags and posters of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Ocalan, a group of youths wearing masks gathered at the Karayollari neighbourhood of the Gaziosmanpasa District of Istanbul.

The group started marching and chanting slogans. The group members hurled the Molotov cocktails that they held in their hands and blocked traffic for a while.
