💨 Abstract

Turkish police clashed with May Day protesters in Istanbul, detaining hundreds after they tried to march towards Taksim Square, defying a ban on public gatherings. The demonstrations were in response to the detention of Istanbul's mayor and President Erdogan's main political rival, Ekrem Imamoglu. Police blocked the protesters in central districts and forcefully arrested those without authorization.
