Turkish police have detained dozens of protesters after using pepper spray, batons and boots to break up a demonstration by women's rights supporters.
The crackdown occurred after a group of about 150 people gathered in Istanbul on Sunday before International Women's Day on 8 March.
Police intervened after protesters refused to disperse and detained 59 people, including 29 women, private news channel NTV said.
Television pictures showed riot police charging protesters, beating them with batons and kicking them on the ground.
One policeman beat a woman to the ground with his baton, then another ran up and kicked her in the face.
