Hundreds arrested in Ankara ahead of NATO summit

Two weeks before the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkish security forces conducted a large-scale raid, arresting over 200 people, including alleged members of the Islamic State and the Revolutionary People's Liberation Front, a leftist group linked to attacks in Turkey. According to local media reports, many of those arrested were lawyers, union members, and left-wing activists. The Turkish authorities have imposed strict restrictions on public life ahead of the summit, including a ban on demonstrations, press conferences, hunger strikes, and distributing leaflets across the city. These measures aim to ensure security during the NATO meeting, which is scheduled for July 7–8.
