| A Turkish police officer has been sentenced to nearly eight years in jail for killing a protester during last summer's anti-government demonstrations in the capital Ankara.
Ahmet Sahbaz shot 26-year-old Ethem Sarisuluk in the head on 1 June 2013.
The demonstrations came amid violent nationwide protests sparked by controversial plans to redevelop Istanbul's Gezi Park.
In court, the victim's supporters decried the verdict as too lenient.
