Police have arrested more than 1,100 people on Monday since the arrest of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main rival on Monday, including journalists.
The protests began in Istanbul following the arrest of Akim Amoglo last week, and since then, more than 55 of the 81 provinces of Turkey have spread, giving riots with police and condemned international condemnation.
The 53 -year -old has been seen as the only politician who can defeat Erdogan, a long -time leader in the ballot box.
In just four days, he went away from becoming the mayor of Istanbul – a post that started Erdogan’s political rise decades ago – he was arrested, investigated, jailed, jailed, imprisoned and a graft and a terrorist investigation resulting from the mayor.
On Sunday, he cast a strong vote as the central candidate of the opposition for the 2028 presidential run, with a belt that was opened beyond the party’s 1.7 million members – which attracted 15 million votes.
A party spokesman on Monday confirmed his election as a party candidate.
Observers said it was a basic primary that mobilized the move against Erdogan’s central political rival, Amoglo, who had dominated Turkish politics since 2003, first as Prime Minister and then as President.
His prison was strongly condemned by Germany, which called it “completely unacceptable”.
In early Monday, police arrested 10 Turkish journalists in a house, including AFP Photographer, to hide the protest, the MLSA Rights Group said in a statement.
It states that most of them are covering widespread demonstrations outside the city hall, where thousands of people rallied at the end of Sunday, which led to the condemnation of Amoglovo’s wife.
“What is being done to the press and the members of journalists is a matter of freedom. None of us can be silent about it,” Delik Kaya Amoglo wrote on the X.
Interior Minister Ali Yarlaikia said that since the protest began on Wednesday, police have arrested more than 1,133 people on “illegal activities”.
Lawyers took detained
AFP representatives said that for the last night, Sunday gatherings – such a fifth mass protest – Istanbul and elsewhere were seen kicking and beating that there was a fierce clash with the riots.
There was no immediate word about the arrests overnight, but in the western coastal city, the Izmir Bar Association said that the police had arrested two local lawyers, including its former chief, who were representing the protesters.
In early Monday, Istanbul Governor Davut Gul warned the protesters “accusing the protesters of” damaging mosques and cemeteries “:” No attempt to disrupt public discipline will be tolerated, “he wrote on X.
When he was being sent to Selvior Jail on the western suburbs of Megastity, Amoglov condemned judicial measures as a political “execution without a political case”.
In a post -jail message, when tens of thousands of people staged a rally for the fifth night, he saw a devious tone.
“I wear a white shirt that you can’t stain,” he said in a message passed by his lawyers. I have a strong arm that you cannot turn. I will not make an inch. I will win this war. “
Throughout Sunday, millions of people voted in CHP’s most symbolic elementary – which effectively became de -facto referendum.
“Out of a total of 15 million votes, there are 13,211,000 solidarity votes,” City Hall said, citing the number of belts cast by CHP members, City Hall said.
The online platform said Sunday that mass protests faced, Turkish authorities tried to close more than 700 accounts on X.
“We object to several judicial orders from the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority that can block more than 700 news organizations, journalists, political figures, students, and other accounts within Turkey,” his communication team said in a statement.
