Istanbul, Turkey — Turkish riot police fire a water cannon as they clash with Kurdish demonstrators during a protest in support of a hunger strike movement by Kurdish prisoners. The justice minister said at least 680 prisoners are on a hunger strike across the country, while Turkey's Human Rights Assn., which closely follows the country's long-simmering Kurdish conflict, said 715 inmates are striking in 48 prisons. Some of the prisoners have been without food for 43 days, and there are fears about their deteriorating condition. Hunger-striking protesters have three main demands: the release of imprisoned Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan, the right to Kurdish language education and the right to use Kurdish in Turkish courts.

Yida, South Sudan — This photo taken on Sunday shows refugees from South Kordofan gathering in the shade of trees at dusk at the Yida Refugee Camp, which hosts over 65,000 refugees coming mainly from South Kordofan in Sudan after fighting broke out between north and south Sudan forces in June 2011. A severe lack of food, ongoing bombings along with a dry climatic spell has led humanitarian organizations to expect a further influx of 15,000 to 30,000 refugees from the Nuba Mountains by the end of the year.
