Ankara Police Shoot Turkish Protester Ethem Sarısülük in Shock Video [VIDEO]

Ankara prosecutor launches investigation into film of Turkish protester shot in the head by riot police

Ankara’s public prosecutor has opened an investigation into the alleged shooting of a Turkish protester in the head by police.

Ethem Sarısülük, 27, was reported to be in serious condition in Ankara’s Numune Training and Research Hospital after being shot by a police officer in the capital’s Kizilay Square during anti-government protests.

A video on YouTube purportedly shows an officer kicking away a demonstrator who is surrounded by 20 people waving flags and banners. The policeman points a gun at the group and fires before running off to a group of officers. A man collapses on the pavement as demonstrators surround the body and scream for help.

According to Sarısülük’s lawyer, Kazim Bayraktar, the protester’s situation was "very serious".
