Turkish police detain a student wearing a t-shirt reading “Don't touch my teacher!” in Diyarbakir on September 19, 2016, during a protest against the suspension of teachers for suspected links to militants. Turkey on September 8, 2016 suspended teachers suspected by the education ministry of having engaged in activities in support of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) listed as a terror group by Ankara and its Western allies. Turkish schools reopened September 19 for the first time since the July 15 coup following a summer which saw tens of thousands of teachers sacked or suspended over “links” to the plotters or to Kurdish rebels.
