YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The European Union has called on Turkey to respect the rights of peaceful protesters, after Ankara said it had arrested more than a thousand people since anti-government demonstrations began last week.

Protesters gathered outside the Istanbul city hall for a sixth day of protest on Monday evening, in defiance of a ban on rallies. They're angry about the arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu - the mayor of Istanbul and a key political rival of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Demonstrators accuse the Turkish president of trying to remove a major opponent ahead of elections in 2028. Mr İmamoğlu was taken into custody pending trial on corruption charges.

With more protests in major cities expected, we've been hearing from people out on the streets of Istanbul.
