ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Turkish protester died at a demonstration in the southeastern city of Antakya on Tuesday against police handling of nationwide anti-government protests this summer, but the cause of his death was in dispute.

Ahmet Atakan, 22, had been taking part in a sit-in protest with about 40 other people in Antakya near the border with Syria, Hasan Akgol, a lawmaker from the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), told Reuters by telephone.
