Opposition calls for mass rally in Istanbul as Turkey escalates its crackdown on protests
A mass rally organised by the main opposition party in Turkey, the Republican People’s Party (CHP), kicked off in Istanbul on Saturday. While student groups have maintained the momentum with smaller protests ever since city mayor Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested on March 19, this is the first major demonstration to take place since Tuesday. FRANCE 24 Correspondent Jasper Mortimer reporting from Ankara.

DC should look like this.
Small rabble of trouble cuasers. Carry on, the majority comes out to protect against violence. Remember the last time milkitary turn coats tried to take over Turkey.
2.2 millon.
2.2 Million have gathered in todays rally!
Hope you don't get arrested or deported too Jas. Stay safe!
Not my monkeys, not my circus.
So what's the land of liberte egalite fraternite has to say about such authoritarian style of government?
Mr. Ekrem imamoglu is a corrupted personal and in same time he is quite famous only because of his Business stake holder in Turkey…
That's why he get more supporters… But that doesn't mean that President Erdogan is a dictator…No, He isn't…Dor turkey law and order means law and order…Its remain same for leaders, powerful personality or civilians…
That's it…
Every country should respect other countries law and order as well ..
And Mr. Ekrem inamoglu's wife just trying to take political advantage at all nothing else
More than 2 million people.
Tyrant

Putin saved Erdogan last time, but this time he is going in the trashcan. Turkey needs a change of leadership or they would be forced to war.
Even if there is 10 million people rallying fraud is fraud ekrem İmamoğlu deserves to be in jail and it is really concerning me how he is supported internationally.
Türkiye will lose its country
POWER TO THE PEOPLE of TURKEY!!!!!! Keep up the protests!!!!!
Face it Turkey is a Dictatorship and needs a European Coalition of the willing to invade and overthrow the government.
AK parti 🇬🇧🤝🏼🇹🇷
