Turkish authorities have arrested several journalists at their homes, a media workers’ union said on Monday, amid escalating protests triggered by the imprisonment of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul and main rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The Disk-Basin-Is union said at least eight reporters and photojournalists were detained in what it said was an "attack on press freedoms and the people’s right to learn the truth".
