Anti-Syrian riots in Turkey: Violent protests spread to several cities

Estimated read time 1 min read



Riots against Syrian immigrants living in Turkey have spread to several cities with shops and buildings set on fire.
In the southern province of Hatay, protesters burned a Syrian grocery store, while cars were overturned in Kayseri.
The violence followed allegations that a Syrian man sexually harassed a 7-year-old girl.
More than three and a half million Syrians live in Turkey, where anti-refugee sentiment has been rising.

Al Jazeera’s Sinem Koseoglu is in Istanbul for more on the unrest.
