Children Arrested In Istanbul

     Around 100 children between the ages of 5 and 15 were
arrested by Turkish police in Istanbul on Saturday, August 19.
The children were demonstrating in support of the hungerstrike by
Kurdish prisoners. In several Turkish prisons, thousands of
mostly Kurdish prisoners are still on hungerstrike, to demand
better conditions and a political solution to the war in
Kurdistan. (taz)
