DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Turkish authorities have arrested nine members of a pro-Kurdish political party for referring to Kurdish separatist rebels as "martyrs", security sources said on Sunday.
The nine are members of the Democratic Society Party (DTP), which campaigns for more political and cultural rights for Turkey's large ethnic Kurdish minority. The DTP won 20 seats in Turkey's parliament in July general elections."
