Turkish police detained 939 people in protests

Turkish police detained 939 people in 90 different demonstrations across Turkey, interior minister Muammer Guler said on Saturday.
“There have been 939 detentions in various cities. Some of them have already been released,” Guler told reporters in comments broadcast by Turkish state television.
