Description
"We came here today because there are some serious illegalities in our country. Young people have been beaten for days," says Baturalp Akalin, a 25-year-old Turkish student as he takes part in a protest in Istanbul. The protests erupted on March 19 after the arrest and subsequent jailing of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's biggest political rival. Defying a protest ban, vast crowds have hit the streets daily, with the nightly rallies often descending into running battles with riot police. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
