Turkey issues arrest warrants for 82 over pro-Kurdish protests

Mayor among those wanted for unspecified offences during 2014 protests sparked by Isis seizure of Kobane

Turkish authorities have issued arrest warrants for 82 people, including a mayor, over pro-Kurdish protests six years ago, officials and local media said.

The warrants relate to October 2014 protests in Turkey sparked by the seizure of the mainly Kurdish-Syrian town of Kobane by Islamic State (Isis) fighters.
