Police used pepper spray against some demonstrators, who were protesting Turkey's ongoing military operation "Olive Branch" against the Kurdish forces in Afrin, a Kurdish city in northern Syria.

Images on social media showed the protesters holding a banner that read "Afrin is becoming our Vietnam -- We will defeat fascism".
