Reporters Without Borders #RSF on Tuesday denounced as "scandalous" a Turkish court's decision to formally arrest an #AFP photographer who was detained for covering the mass protests in #Istanbul.

"This is the first time that a clearly-identified journalist has, in the exercise of his duties, been formally arrested on the basis of this law against gatherings and demonstrations," RSF's Erol Onderoglu told AFP following the arrest of photographer Yasin Akgul.

"This scandalous decision reflects a very serious situation in #Turkey."

#Turkey detains 37 over 'provocative' social media posts following arrest of #Istanbul mayor

Thousands rally outside Istanbul city hall for 2nd night over mayor’s arrest

by Mehmet Guzel and Susan Frazer, March 20, 2025

ISTANBUL (AP) — "Thousands of people gathered outside Istanbul’s city hall for a second consecutive night on Thursday to rally against the arrest of the city’s mayor, a prominent contender against President #RecepTayyipErdogan, which many view as a politically driven attempt to eliminate a key rival from the next presidential race.

"Mayor #EkremImamoglu was arrested after a dawn raid on his residence on Wednesday as part of investigations into alleged corruption and terror links, escalating a crackdown on opposition figures and dissenting voices. Several other prominent figures, including two district mayors, were also detained.

"The detention of a popular opposition leader deepened concerns over #democracy and sparked #protests in Istanbul and elsewhere, despite a four-day ban on #demonstrations in the city and road closures. "
