Istanbul:
More than two dozen anti-government protesters went on trial on Thursday in Turkey, accused of organising last year's demonstrations that posed the biggest challenge to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's decade-plus rule.
An Istanbul court began hearing the case against 26 members of the Taksim Solidarity activist group, including doctors, architects and engineers who are accused of leading the protests that began in June 2013, with critics denouncing the trial as an attempt to clamp down on dissent.
