A local walks past shops closed as part of a protest against the arrival of the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir October 20, 2008. Tensions rose in Turkey's southeastern provinces after some deputies of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) claimed that jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan has been mistreated in Imrali prison, where he is serving a life sentence, said Turkish newspaper Hurriyet.
