Death toll rises to 5 in Turkey protests
Ankara protester dies from head injury caused by blow from tear gas canister, raising death toll from two-week demonstrations to five
AP Published in Ahram Online on 13 - 06 - 2013

A lawyer says a protester injured during clashes with Turkish riot police has died, raising the death toll to five from the two-week standoff between police and activists that has challenged Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government.
The protests centered on Istanbul's Taksim Square looked set to continue Thursday despite a referendum offer over a contested development plan presented a day earlier by Erdogan's party.
Family lawyer Sema Aksoy said 26-year-old Ether Sarisuluk — who had been on a life support for days — was pronounced dead Thursday. He was believed to have been hit in the head by a tear gas canister during protests in Ankara on 1 June.
A human rights group says thousands of people were treated for injuries in protests that began 31 May.
