35 detained in Turkey for alleged links to Kurdish rebels
A news report says police in Turkey have detained some 35 people, including an acting mayor, as part of an investigation into a group prosecutors accuse of ties to Kurdish rebels.
The state-run Anatolia news agency said the suspects were detained Monday in the mainly Kurdish city of Hakkari.
Dozens of Kurdish activists, including elected mayors, are already on trial accused of membership in the Kurdistan Democratic Confederation, which prosecutors say is linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
