ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Cries of "government resign" rang out from Turkish football stadiums at the weekend as fans criticised the government's response to this month's earthquakes that have killed more than 50,000 people in southern Turkey and northern Syria.

At a separate demonstration in Istanbul, riot police moved swiftly to detain protesters, who were handcuffed and dragged into police buses.
