Police have detained more than 1,100 people, officials said Monday — including journalists — since the arrest of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main rival triggered some of Turkey’s worst unrest in years.
The demonstrations began in Istanbul after Ekrem Imamoglu’s arrest last week and have since spread to more than 55 of Turkey’s 81 provinces, sparking clashes with riot police and drawing international condemnation.
