A large protest against the Gezi Park trial verdict, ended in clashes with police in Istanbul, Turkey, on Tuesday 26 April.

The crowd had gathered in the centre of the city over the conviction of philanthropist Osman Kavala and seven other activists.

About 50 people were arrested after some protesters clashed with police, according to reports.

Mr Kavala was sentenced to life in prison on charges related to nationwide protests in 2013 and a failed coup attempt in 2016. He had already spent four years in jail without having been convicted.

He denied the charges and his supporters, and Turkey's international allies, say the case is politically motivated. Western diplomats were among those attending court for the verdict.
