Demonstrators clash with Turkish police as they protest against the replacement of Kurdish mayors with state officials in three cities, in Diyarbakir, on August 19, 2019. The Turkish government removed three mayors from office on August 19, 2019 over alleged links to Kurdish militants, the interior ministry said. The mayors of Diyarbakir, Mardin and Van provinces in eastern Turkey – all members of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) elected in March – were suspended. (Photo by Ilyas Akengin/AFP Photo)
