Demonstrators light candles in memory of the mine victims during a sit-in protest in Istanbul May 16, 2014. Anger has swept Turkey as the extent of the country's worst ever industrial disaster, in which some 300 workers have died, became clear, with protests aimed at mine owners accused of ignoring safety for profit, and at Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's government, seen as too cosy with industry tycoons and insensitive in its reaction to the tragedy.[Photo/Agencies] |
