Turkish protester killed near Syrian border
A Turkish anti-government protester is shot dead late on Monday, pushing death toll in unrest up to two people

Reuters Published in Ahram Online on 04 - 06 - 2013

A protester was shot dead late on Monday during an anti-government demonstration in southern Turkey near the Syrian border, the provincial governor's office said.
Abdullah Comert, 22, died in the town of Antakya, the statement said. Television channel NTV reported he was demonstrating to show support for a wider protest that began in Istanbul last week against the policies of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, and said he was shot in the head.
It was not immediately clear who opened fire at the Antakya rally, the governor's office statement said.
Hatay province borders Syria and has sheltered thousands of refugees from the civil war there. Last month, car bombs ripped through the centre of the Hatay town of Reyhanli, killing 52 people.
Comert was a member of the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) youth branch, NTV reported, citing a CHP lawmaker from Hatay.
Late on Sunday, a 20-year-old Turkish man died when a taxi drove into a group of demonstrators on an Istanbul highway during an anti-government protest, Turkish doctors' association TBB said on Monday, the first known death related to the demonstrations.
The protester was named as Mehmet Ayvalitas, and TBB board member Huseyin Demirduzen said four other people were also injured, one of them seriously.
