Men pray in an underground shopping center during a weekly protest called "civil Fridays," where men hear prayers from a Kurdish speaking imam not approved by the Turkish state, as an act of civil disobedience in Diyarbakir, Turkey on February 24, 2012. In Turkey, mosques fall under the control of the Turkish state and other religious activities are deemed unofficial and, on occasion, illegal.
