A far-left Turkish group has taken an Istanbul prosecutor hostage and threatened to kill him, prompting special forces officers to enter the courthouse and police to evacuate the building.
The Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) published a picture of the prosecutor with a gun to his head and said it would kill him unless its demands were met.
The prosecutor is leading an investigation into the death last March of 15-year-old Berkin Elvan, who died after nine months in a coma from a head wound sustained in anti-government protests.
The DHKP-C said on its website it wanted the police officer it blames for Elvan's death to confess on television.
The group also want the officers involved to be tried in "people's courts", and charges against those who attended protests for Elvan to be dropped.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu met with the current and former interior and justice ministers at the ruling AK Party headquarters in Ankara to discuss the hostage taking, officials in his office said.
Television footage showed special forces officers entering the courthouse and officials being escorted out.
Armed police officers, many wearing flak jackets, surrounded the building and fire engines were positioned outside.
Istanbul's police chief said negotiations are under way with two hostage takers inside the courthouse.
