| Turkish police detained 19 people and fired tear gas in central Istanbul on Sunday to disperse dozens of people attempting to gather to mark the annual Gay Pride week after authorities banned their march.
A German lawmaker and a member of the European Parliament were also briefly detained, while police chased activists into side streets and blocked them from gathering and reading out a statement, saying it was banned.
Organisers called off the annual Gay Pride march, carried out largely peacefully since 2003, after authorities did not allow the event to go ahead but deployed hundreds of riot police near the main Taksim square.
Volker Beck, a member of the German Bundestag and a veteran gay rights activist, was among those briefly detained. Two other German citizens were also detained.
