A Turkish court in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır has released two pro-Kurdish politicians in the trial of Kurdistan Community Union (KCK), an umbrella organization of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Soldiers that opened fire during clashes in Lice, resulting in the death of two demonstrators, have been identified by prosecutors, the head of the Diyarbakır Bar Association said June 9.

The weapons of the soldiers were also seized as part of the investigation, Tahir Elçi said.
