ROME RIOTS! Rad Trads Or Kurds? Violently Protesting Pope Francis' Meeting With Turkish President.....


Rad Trads or Kurds?

Two protestors were injured in the violence as opposition against Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit mounted. Italian authorities had ordered a 24-hour ban on protests in the centre of the capital in anticipation of the protests. Mr Erdogan, who is accused of limiting free speech in Turkey by jailing journalists and opposition Kurdish politicians, was in Rome from Sunday night to early Monday evening. A pro-Kurdish group held a sit-in outside the Castel Sant’Angelo, an ancient mausoleum near to where Mr Erdogan was meeting Pope Francis at the Vatican. Source
