Police threw tear gas at the hundreds that protested the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in Istanbul, Turkey on Tuesday.
Some of the protesters threw fire bombs at a convention centre where leaders of the IMF and the World Bank were meeting. Bank windows were smashed and ATMs broken. Around a hundred protesters were arrested, and hundreds more dispersed after the police shot at them with a water cannon.
There is significant opposition among Turkish students to the IMF, which helped bail Turkey out of a deep financial crisis in 2001. Turkey and the IMF are negotiating a possible new loan agreement after the last one expired more than a year ago.
