A protester throws a stone towards the riot police on the Istiklal Avenue in Istanbul, Turkey, on December 27, 2013, during clashes between the Turkish police and protestors. Police blocked hundreds of protesters from gathering in Istanbul's central Taksim Square and pushed them away to the nearby streets. A high-level bribery and corruption investigation involving close government allies has led to a new outpouring of anger against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government.
